Issues with Arduino IDE board definition 1.0.1

I have a complex working code base running well on boards version 1.0.0 - the moment I update to board definition 1.0.1, the I2C subsystem seems to be completely unstable - using RTC or EEPROM - there a random lockups and unpredictable operations.

I have used two diferent I2C libraries for the eeprom with similar results on board version 1.0.1 - those same libraries work corectly on boards 1.0.0

Has anyone else seen this behaviour - my topboard is v.17-3117

Hi Shane, i have tested the simple RTC and EEPROM demo sketches again on 1.0.1 and i don't find any problems. Could you try with those demo sketches. Are you using I2C for anything else except the standard Indio library, RTC, EEPROM? https://github.com/Industruino/democode

Thanks Tom 

I will use a new unit and test. I2C only used for RTC and eeprom. I’ll let you know. 

Cheers

Updated to 1.0.1

and now seems to work - I will test more and let you know if any issues.

I am using following libraries

WDT - #include <MCP7940.h> // includes wire.h 

EEPROM - from github
## **EEPROM Library V1.0** for Industruino D21G
**Written by:** _Xabier Garmendia - EA2EGA_. - _Ingran Engineering S.L._.  
Based on the work of: David A. Mellis and Christopher Andrews
It uses I2C_EEPROM as well and works with the “standard” functions of the IDE bundled EEPROM.h for AVR

Hi TOM,

I reinstalled IDE and libraries - RTC and EEPROM are working ok - ther must have been a corruption in my setup - very odd. Thansk for the help
