Can Atmega use Rom10 image ?

[crenaud]

I am new to atmega and was wondering if a rom 10 image can be used.
With the death of rom 3 almost a certainty this might be something useful.

There was a time that we used a trimmed down(relocated) ROM10 image to make it the size of a ROM3 eeprom, but with the new key-packet change I don't think the code got updated. As per your statement about the ROM3 dying, concider that ROM2's are still active, and that when the 'Card Swap' occures you can expect to see all ROM cards that currently only support the Nagravision 1 stream be changed out for ROM10x cards at the same time. My opinion ...

I think it will work

You should have tons of room on an atmega.

Get your rom 10 bin all set up convert it to hex using jeepers and open the rom3 .pfg and past it over the data under the eeprom section.

Write it to the atmega and give it a shot, it should work.

If you tell me where to get a Rom 10 Image, I will try it for you and post the results.

Read the datasheet:
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc2467.pdf

A full ROM10 eeprom cannot fit into the Atmega128

Nonvolatile Program and Data Memories
– 128K Bytes of In-System Reprogrammable Flash
Endurance: 10,000 Write/Erase Cycles
– 4K Bytes EEPROM <<<<<------ This is important <<<<<------

So the ROM3 eeprom fits just fine (4K), whereas the ROM10 does not (8K)

Like I said before ... a trimmed(to 4K)/relocated ROM10 eeprom will/did work with the Atmega128.
