During the last two days I had to reload the executive to my ocelot 4 times.

This morning the ocelot was once again dead.

I had the same issue about 8 months ago and had to reprogram the Firmware and the all was good.

It is not reliable anymore and I'm really thinking of giving up.

I had it running with the Homeseer plugin to control my SECU16 I/O

the only thing I changed in the software is the addition of a appliance module to control the heater in the aquarium.

I'm not sure if homeseer is sending some roque serial command that cause the ocelot to loose its executive or its just a flaky unit.

PS: I'm not using the X10 interface or the IR on the ocelot and I only have the one SECU16 connected using the oem ac adapter that came with the ocelot.

Help!!

else I will be selling 2 secu16's and the Ocelot.

Could you be having a problem with the power supply? Have you tried a different one? Has anything new been added to the SECU16 inputs or outputs?

I checked the Flash and it's corrupt

I reflashed it again and its still gets corrupt so I think the flash memory is defective.

I need to buy a new one

Question Guy

do you know if the parameters are stored in the RTC memory or are they flashed to the Flash?

The reason I was asking is that I had another flash chip from an old motherboard but the Ocelot can't program it.

I had an image of the Ocelot.bin + the executive 3.18 and I flashed it to the Flash.

The Ocelot is up and running once again but it can't get erased or corrupted by the Ocelot. so I will wait and see.

So you had an image of the entire flash chip, and used a flash programmer to make a new chip? As long as the new chip is the same part number, that should work. I have done that myself before. Asf ar as I know the parameters are held in flash, so you will need to set them to whatever you need.

Yup that is correct the next step is to see if I can change a prameters to see if it stays after a reboot.

If it does then it's being saved in the battery backed Epson RTC IC.
