A customer of mine recently changed from using AT90S8515 to ATMega8515 as the former is obsolete. We've had a couple of units in the field lose eeprom data - we're still waiting to get them back to look further but has anyone else seen anything like this ?
Anyone seen ATMega8515 lose eeprom data?

Yes. I had the same problem. The solution in my case was to enable the brown-out detection. On boards with just a ATMega8515 the problem occured every now and then, while on a same type of board with a Bluetooth module installed, it happened very frequently. I could pinpoint the problem to occur on power up/down cycles, were the risetime ov VCC was mostly quick enough without the BT module and just too slow with the BT module installed. Enabling the brown-out detection fixed it.
