[Horus]EEPROM missing?

Post by MicheleVilla »

Are on Horus model parameter memorized in EEPROM or in SD card only?
On frsky web site is declared:
"SD Card (no EEPROM)"

Ask FrSky? Maybe so as not to have any practical capacity limit.

What about the loaded model and general settings? loaded in RAM at startup?
Other way I don't think it would be very safe? If the SD Card goes bad, then....???

I don't know how FrSky plan to handle that case in their OS, but we intend to use the non-volatile RAM in the CPU to keep a backup copy of the active data sets.

Is it big enough?
I can't believe they did this, but why? They could have shot themselves in the foot? Anyway, they might have they reasons.. :)
