Hi, no need, I just wanted to make sure. I have marked the flash chip as fully tested and will commit that later together with other small changes. > Also I did not have the same success with the 1rst bios chip which is not > recognized (0Kb) by flashrom, and neither by nvflash under windows (nvflash > says : unknown eeprom - BF,008D : this is a SST chip) > This is a 2Mbits spi eeprom with a sot-23 package. sot-23 would be pretty spectacular... because that has only 3 pins ;) I believe you mean SOIC-8 instead. SPI flashes can use a few different ID methods which often share (parts of) ID bytes. 0xBF is indeed the SST vendor ID... and 0x8d is even (the main) part of a known device: the SST25VF040B. But it should be detected ok with flashrom. Can you please send us the log produced with: flashrom -p buspirate_spi:dev=COM5 -VVV -o SST25VF040B_probe_spew.log Maybe I can spot what/if something is wrong. The top marking of the chip would also help very much in verifying if it is a SST25VF040B or something else. -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner _______________________________________________ flashrom mailing list [email protected] http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom
