G30 Configuration One Write per Entry Name?

[PTSS]

What version of firmware etc?

hmm does sound suspect, have you search the GHI formus?
As Ive found a few similar posts about similar issues.

Does John’s Test code in this thread work (1/2 way down)

Configuration.ReadEntry()

When trying to store small amounts in the G30 internal flash, I can successfully write an entry to the configuration area and read the size back. But…when actually trying to read the entry values back, I receive an exception stating that the offset must be equal to the length returned by GetEntrySize(). Here is my code: int index2=0; Byte[] calRecall=new Byte[GHI.Processor.Configuration.GetEntrySize("Calibration")]; GHI.Processor.Configuration.ReadEntry("Cablibration",calRecall); for (i…

Also this might be a ‘gottcha’

@NicholasR - You can call WriteEntry with the same name and different value multiple times without needing to call erase. It handles different lengths. The config in NETMF works by appending new entries to the list. It does not erase old entries. So when you write a new entry with the same name and same sized value, you are still using up more space. The existing space is not reclaimed. WriteEntry should return false when there is not enough space left. It is possible there is a bug in that functionality. If it happens again, read back the entire config region and send it to us. We can take a look at it.

@Darren SFI - NETMF has some internal compaction mechanisms that are not exposed that run automatically. Once the region is completely full though there is nothing more to be done.
