HI,EVERYBODY
IN ATMEGA 128 DATASHEET Write/Erase 100,000 EEPROM

IN MY PROGRAM:

DIM A AS ERAM BYTE,B AS LONG

DO
A=3
WAITMS 5
LOOP UNTIL B=100000
END

I HAVE QUASTION:IN THIS CASE ATMEGA128 WILL DAMAGE?

(BASCOM-AVR version : 2.0.4.0 , Latest : 2.0.7.7 )

The EEPROM is guarateed to be reliable for 100000 wr/erase cycles.
If that's your point, then you are right.
But in your sample, you assign the same value 3 for 100000 times.
I am not shure if that makes a differenz.
But if you are really going to store the same value for many times, and maybe have one different value every millionth time, than there might be a way out:
Reading the eeprom does not do any harm. So first read the eeprom, and do not write to it unless the content would change.

Hi NE5660,

The EEprom only gets written once, A=3

Your program will loop forever, as "B" never gets incremented.

Can't really see any point to the loop unless you were attempting testing to see if the EEprom can really do 100,000 writes.

They wouldn't specify that in the data sheet if it wasn't important.

Regards

Dean

HI ,THANKS ALOT FOR YOUR REPLAY
IT IS EXAMPLE.I WANT TO KNOW CAN I WRITE EEPROM VARIABLE FOR MORE THAN 100000 TIMES.

HI,I AM SORRY.I FORGOT INCREASE B
DIM A AS ERAM BYTE,B AS LONG
B=0
DO
A=3
WAITMS 5
INCR B
LOOP UNTIL B=120000
END

I WANT TO KNOW,CAN I WRITE MOR THAN 100000 TIMES IN EEPROM VARIABLE SUCH AS A?

No, because you leave the loop after 100.000 cycles! There is no real difference compared to your first post, all aswers apply the same.
I guess you need to save values in cade of a powerdown?

Hi,

I've done tests and in my tests the AVR eeprom lasted atleast 150K writes.

I used code similar to this:

Code:

dim A as byte
dim B as Byte
dim w as dword

do
  incr B
  incr w
  Writeeeprom b , 10
  print w
  Readeeprom A, 10
  if A <> B then
    print "Write error"
    do  :  loop
  endif
Loop
 


Regards
Ian Dobson
