Wiping EEPROM

Hi,

I need to COMPLETLY wipe the eeprom of all data, not even entering in a null code such as this
Pub Main
repeat

I can't communicate with the eeprom for some reason, I can't figure it out, I am thinking maybe clearing the EEPROM might help. Also I am using the GG board with the SD card, might I be able to load a program on the RAM to upload data from the SD card to the EEPROM, such as a boot loader program?

Thanks,

John

    John,

    Whatever your EEPROM communication issues are, wiping it will not solve them one bit, since the loader doesn't care what's there before the load. You've either got a hardware problem with the EEPROM chip itself or its connection to the Prop, or a problem with your PC's USB/serial driver.
