Part 6: Critical Warnings – Do Not Ignore These

Warning 1: OTP is physically one-time.

If you attempt to flash otp.bin onto a chip that already has fuses blown, the programmer will show "Verification Error" at the first non-0xFF byte. Stop immediately. Forcing a write won't work; it only stresses the programmer.

What "otp.bin" and "seeprom.bin" mean

These filenames commonly appear when dumping or backing up low-level firmware/ROM areas on embedded systems (e.g., routers, SoCs, microcontrollers, mobile basebands). They refer to two distinct non-volatile storage regions: otp.bin seeprom.bin

If you want me to produce a descriptive text explaining their purpose, typical contents, and relationship, here it is:

What is seeprom.bin?
