# EEPROM is delivered in empty state ## Problem environment The EEPROM part U6/U7 is connected to the Raspberry Pi secondary I2C interfaces, used for identifying the hardware attached on top of the host computer. ## Steps to reproduce 1. Refer to the schematic 1. Study the circuits around U6/U7 ## Expected result The EEPROM connected to each device contains data uniquely identifying it as a Sendcomm. ## Actual result The EEPROM is not prepared, and contains no data. ## Workaround Assume the user will follow documentation to enable the UART without choosing login. ## Resources https://github.com/raspberrypi/hats/ https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/boot.md https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=265631 https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/introducing-raspberry-pi-hats/ https://magpi.raspberrypi.org/articles/make-your-own-hat/ https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/uart.md https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=108134 https://github.com/raspberrypi/hats/blob/master/eeprom-format.md https://github.com/raspberrypi/hats/tree/master/eepromutils ## Severity level This is **low priority** because project requirements do not mandate hardware identification.
