By checking MX25L25635F datasheet I found that the Enter4BA instruction doesn't require WREN before. By default 4BA patch does WREN + Enter4BA to switch to 4-byte.addr.mode. To make Flashrom work with this chip I see 3 ways: 1) Uncomment FBA_USE_EXT_ADDR_REG_BY_DEFAULT define in sfdp.c to use 3-bytes addressing with Extended Address Register by default. This should work on MX25L25635F. It seems that it's the best way for default access to 4BA-chips. 2) Define this chip in flashchips.c with all direct functions (it has them) or define with 4BA functions and set "enter_4ba = spi_enter_4ba_b7" to prevent of using WREN before EN4B instruction. 3) Add some heuristics to 4BA mode switch to try both types (with WREN and without WREN). _______________________________________________ flashrom mailing list [email protected] http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom
