It's really good to have you on this thread. My plan for the issue is to find someone from AMD who can fix the issue. I mentioned this earlier in this thread :) It would be really great if you could help? I think someone from AMD would be in the best position to fix the issue, you have all the datasheets available and all the hardware. It seems from the thread you are hitting the issue during a development process, so perhaps this can be a justification for why this is needed for business, and why to allocate resources to fix it. Some time ago I wrote this doc, maybe it can be useful https://flashrom.org/how_to_support_flashrom.html#special-appeal-for-companies Count this as an official invitation to contribute! Thank you for your help About possible workarounds, I think writing only one layout region has some chances to work.
