Re: CM11 - how to clear the memory ??

["egelbeertje" <r_d_k@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Li,

Thx for the tip on the Dawn Dusk parameters, It's true I've put a lot
of those in. I tried clearing the memory as described and the sw
seems to download a "clean instruction" to the interface - so the
communication is working (although it sometimes gets stuck half way
this procedure as well), but when I look it up in the statistics it
keeps showing -3% space available and I'm unable to upload new
parameters.

Also my machine sometimes grinds to a halt since I use the Activehome
sw - it's still alive but it's slower than a 8086 . Only a reboot
cures that one so far.
