errr.... what was your problem then? The driver does absolutely nothing on its own (on h300 at least) - it's only accessed when selecting those two entries in the debug screen (see other thread)

This way it should be possible to restore OF eeprom settings if rockbox wiped them. It can also be used to find the source of the wiping.

Exuce me, Sir. how do I place a original H320 firmware back on my player with this eeprom driver ?
What file I need and what method shoudl I use ?
There are safety or backup measures for not bricking my player ?
petur:
The eeprom is a programmable chip where the original iriver firmware stores its settings. Writing to it will not brick your player.
Some rockbox users have reported that they are unable to start the original iriver firmware (it hangs at boot time) - however rockbox works ok. I'm assuming that the reason for this is that the settings of the original iriver firmware have become corrupted.
The reason for this driver is to allow resetting that eeprom to default values in the case of those issues.
Users unaffected by all this should not use this.
Alternatively, it can be used to find out which value iriver is storing where ;)

Quick guide to restore eeprom settings: put the file attached to this post (http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=5856.msg45296#msg45296) in the root of your player and perform the Write back EEPROM as mentioned in above linked post.
No brick risk at all.
