OK, thank you! Micom EEPROM has 256 byte (or 2kBit ;) ). Will dump and upload tomorrow :)

jup, but i want to disable the watchdog first :)

But i'm failing right now... Executing 'http://IP/read?format=1&device=80&size=32768' works, but adding the address option neccesary for write command (-> 'http://IP/read?format=1&device=80&size=32768&addr=0') fails reading?! I will investigate the sketch

EDIT: my working teensy sketch can be found here: http://wiki.samygo.tv/index.php5/Ethern ... _interface

seem ok. but why don't you change just these bytes instead of full dump?

Re: [howto] Switch boot partitions via micom eeprom C series

To complete my case i attached both states (1st active and 2nd active) as dumps of my micom EEPROM. Mind attachement comments.

Just for information: if you compare both that dumps with the one i posted previously (Micom_EEPROM_after_toggle_try.zip) you will figure out that the ascii string 'ger' changed to 'eng'. The reason is that tv was set to german before my tv's brick and after unbricking it let me walk through the setup-up steps where i chose englisch to quickly pass that. juuso' dumps show 'spa' so that dumps will most probably have been made on a tv set to spanish :)
