I am not installing any of this rapidshare junk on my PC, and anyway I don't have time to review your code. The product hits the market by the end of this week!
depart from a working revision, change your EEPROM write function, and post it here if it does not work.

I am not sure how you are going to maintain code that you didn't write or don't understand. The driver starts with the serial command and address then switches to the user address by a counter in the interrupt routine.

where is "EepromStartTx"?

What you have said, I understand it. What I don't know to do is how to modify the pointer to change the writing/reading start adress that I want.

  }

didn't you say that 'EepromStartTx' cannot be changed without disabling your EEPROM? let me ask again: post the modified version of it, and only that function, that does not work. that is the source of the problem, isn't it (at least, according to you)?

In opinion of Chris, only the enum EepromCommandType must be changed (I have already changed it) and modify the start address of pointer, but i don't know how to do it. This is the modified version by me.

_inline void EepromStartTx(U16  MY_ADRESS) {
  CS_EEPROM      = low;
  eeprom.bytesTx = 1;                        /* decrement the transmit count by one */
  eeprom.bytesRx = 0;
  eeprom.txptr   = (S8 *)(&eeprom)+MY_ADRESS;  /* reset pointer to first element */
  SSC0_TB         = *eeprom.txptr++;     /* write the first byte to the SSC0 tx buffer */
  }

Hello,
Tamir, Chris, my nigthmare has ended. I have tested the last configuration of Chris, and the program works perfectly. I read /write the bytes in the wished address. It isn't necessary to add a new parameter in the
EepromStartTx function. Only the pointer has to be increased by 1.

_inline void EepromStartTx() {
  CS_EEPROM      = low;
  eeprom.bytesTx = 1;                        /* decrement the transmit count by one */
  eeprom.bytesRx = 0;
  eeprom.txptr   = (S8 *)(&eeprom) + 1;  /* reset pointer to first element */
  SSC0_TB         = *eeprom.txptr++;     /* write the first byte to the SSC0 tx buffer */
  }

Thanks very much for your help.
