Comments on: NV-RAM for the TS7500 ARM single board computer http://oao.no/wpe/2011/02/ts7500-nvram/ English Tue, 05 Jun 2018 18:15:01 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.7 By: Martin http://oao.no/wpe/2011/02/ts7500-nvram/comment-page-1/#comment-515 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 18:28:24 +0000 http://oao.no/wpe/?p=281#comment-515 Wow! I was using the TS7250 which had the PC-style RTC, and I used the NVRAM to regularly store a few bytes of vital information – for example, the current time and date and the last recorded meter reading. The time and date allowed the system to produce a message at startup time ‘Starting at 11:30 – last active at 11:20’ so you could see how long it had been down for. (Power outages).

I did complain to Technologic when I moved over to the TS7550, and removed that functionality from the software. At the time, they said they were unaware that customers were using the NVRAM in the RTC.

I will go back to TS with this, since I am buying between one and two hundred boards per month.
