#172333 - documented quite concisely - but also contradictorily (!)
Responding to: ???'s previous message

I had a look at the available documentation ("How to program flash memory...pdf") and it appears, that all accesses to data flash (read/write/erase) shall go through IAP. This is uncomfortable, impractical, whatever; nevertheless it is in fact documented quite concisely.

True - But that contradicts the Datasheet:

W7100 Datasheet, Version 0.9.2 said:
2.2 Data Memory
The W7100 contains ... 256 Byte of the Data FLASH. The Data FLASH is for user’s information such as IP address, MAC address, subnet mask and port number and so on. These memories are accessed by MOVX instructions only (sic?).
((Datasheet version 0.9.2, Page 27, Section 2.2 "Data Memory")

This contradiction is the nub of the problem!

      Nope, both start at zero....            01/01/70 00:00

            Yup, movx doesn't do it as far as i can tell....            01/01/70 00:00

                        but how does it matter?            01/01/70 00:00

                                 Sad, but true - but WIZnet beware!            01/01/70 00:00      
         So they do!            01/01/70 00:00

      Why do you believe that, Jan?            01/01/70 00:00
