Enable ECC by default

[qbrix]

What I want to do is be able to have memtest load up with ECC turned on by default (i.e. without having to go through the menu each time).

I did this before by modifying the source and recompiling the binary, but now I don't remember where to make the change. There used to be a post in the old forum, but it looks like many posts were deleted.

Can anyone help out with this?

I digged through the code and now I recall how I did it before. Here is the solution:

In the controller.c file, near line 3200 there is a bit of code here:
set_ecc_polling(-1);

that sets the ECC mode to 'Recommended' mode, just change the -1 to a 1 to enable ECC by default or 0 to disable completly

Supposedly archives were supposed to be here:

But it's down. Will it ever be back up?

why do you want to have ECC turned on?

in this manner memtest wouldn´t find any possible failures, no?

I want to see if any errors occur even with ECC enabled.

Oddly, after I made this change, I get errors on various modules.

However, with the same version (2.11), if I enable ECC manually, I don't get these errors. I don't remember having this issue with older versions.
