Limited Number of flashes/burns
So I have an MSPNP and I was talking to my brother, who is an electrical engineer and he was saying that it has a limited number of reflashes before its toast. Is this true? He was saying it was 2k or so so not really a problem but I was just curious if its true. I am less electrically knowledgeable so I thought I'd ask you gurus.

That depends on if its writing to eeprom or to flash memory. eeprom has a much lower life of writes than flash. I honestly don't know which is writes to.

It is limited, but I've never heard of anyone hitting the limit, and a new processor is under $20

good to know....is it simple for a noob to solder in a new one?

I seem to remember the limit being more like 10K reflashes than 2K, but whatever it is, I have yet to see any processors sent back where this happened.

FLASH is anywhere between 1000 and 10,000 burns. EEPROMs are usually around 100,000.

I have like 10 spare MS-I cpus if this is the case... lol
