So I found out that the EEPROM device installed on our board is MSOP type and so per the  eeprom data sheet A0 and A1 are not connected so both are left open on our board. But A2 is ground. This means that address should be 0xA0 and NOT 0xA2 as configured on the reference design. Does the HX3 Blaster tool support eeprom addressing at 0xA0? IF so how to program the eeprom at address 0xA0 with default image? where to get this default image? Please advise

Hi Mike,

1. Is the EEPROM powered properly? i.e., VCC should be High

2. Is I2C lines pulled high to 3.3V?

3. As mentioned in the GUI, is the EEPROM address 0xA2. If not, please update the same in the tool and try reading from EEPROM.

Thanks,
Ajeeth

Hi Mike,

What is the status of the Jumpers J7 and J8(MODE_SEL) in your schematics? Please select MODE_SEL pins b'01 to select EEPROM Master boot.

Thanks,

I tried the suggested jumpers position but no change. Are there other jumper(s) needed to configure as well? If yes which one? Please advise

Hi Mike,

In the Blaster Plus tool, you can use the "Configure I2C" option to choose the values corresponding to your installed EEPROM.

You can download the latest firmware(version B7) here.

Thanks,
Ajeeth
