Notes on custom firmware
When using the JTAG interface, do not modify sensitive EEPROM areas like Bootloader
control section, ZigBee firmware settings, NV-section containing i.e. MAC address, unless
you are absolutely sure what you are doing. See
section 5.6
for details of sensitive
EEPROM areas.
Please also note that dresden elektronik will neither provide firmware images of the
bootloader nor support restoring the bootloader or EEPROM once overwritten.
