Re: Non volatile memory problems

I don't have a battery connected to the battery backup. RCM5600w only have power supply from usb download cable. 

After knowing the advantages bbram compared to storage nonvolatile data in flash, I interested to use it, thanks pater for the advice.

Is't true when data store in flashed will be lost if the battery backup and the power supply is removed? Thanks.

As far as I can recall you can actually recover the 20K for your own use if you are not using any of the FAT libraries but off the top of by head I'm not sure exactly what you have to do.
