EEPROM

Overview

The EEPROM stores up to 8KiB of plain binary data and is used by an architecture to boot a computer. For example, the Lua architecture expects this to contain a script that is run as the first thing when the computer is powered up. The default Lua BIOS (which can be crafted) will look for file systems containing an init.lua file and run that. Custom BIOSes could be written that boot off of network devices, for example.

The EEPROM is crafted using the following recipe:

• 4 x Gold nugget/oreberry (with Tinker's Construct)
• 1 x Redstone Torch
• 2 x Paper
• 1 x Transistor
• 1 x Microchip (Tier 1)

The EEPROM (Lua BIOS) is crafted using the following recipe:

• 1 x EEPROM
• 1 x OpenComputers Manual

Component API

Component name: eeprom. Callbacks:

get

get():string

Get the currently stored byte array.

set

set(data:string)

Overwrite the currently stored byte array.

getLabel

getLabel():string

Get the label of the EEPROM.

setLabel

setLabel(data:string)

Set the label of the EEPROM.

getSize

getSize():number

Gets the maximum storage capacity of the EEPROM.

getDataSize

getDataSize():number

Gets the maximum data storage capacity of the EEPROM.

getData

getData():string

Gets currently stored byte-array (usually the component address of the main boot device).

setData

setData(data:string)

Overwrites currently stored byte-array with specified string.

getChecksum

getChecksum():string

Gets Checksum of data on EEPROM.

makeReadonly

makeReadonly(checksum:string):boolean

Makes the EEPROM Read-only if it isn't. This process cannot be reversed.
