Description
When reading EEPROM via avrdude using wiring (via bootloader) - results are corrupted. Every other 8 bytes are lost. Writing to EEPROM works, but, as expected, validation fails as what is written does not match corrupted version that is read back.
You can reproduce on Mega2560(and probably others using this bootloader) using following sketch to initialize EEPROM to known state:
#include <EEPROM.h>
void eepromDump() {
char buff[8];
int counter = 0;
byte data = 0;
Serial.write("EEPROM contents:\n");
for (int i = 0; i < 4096 ; i++) {
counter = counter % 16;
if (counter == 0) {
snprintf(buff, 10, "%07X", i);
if (i != 0) {
Serial.println();
}
Serial.print(buff);
}
data = EEPROM.read(i);
snprintf(buff, 4, " %02X", data);
Serial.print(buff);
counter ++;
}
Serial.println();
}
void eepromErase(int start){
Serial.println("Erasing EEPROM");
for (int addr=start; addr <4096; addr++){ EEPROM.update(addr, 0x00); }
}
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200L);
const char data[63]="0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
EEPROM.put(0, data);
eepromErase(64);
eepromDump();
}
void loop() {
}After that if executing a read via a programmer you get expected correct output:
$ avrdude -c dragon_isp -P usb -p atmega2560 -Ueeprom:r:eeprom.bin:r
$ hexdump -C eeprom.bin

But using the bootloader for same thing you get corrupted output:
$ avrdude -c wiring -P /dev/cu.usbmodem1411 -p atmega2560 -Ueeprom:r:eeprom2.bin:r
$ hexdump -C eeprom2.bin
