Ok that is a Hynix chip, no other chips of that bran is currently supported, but the data-sheet is available here: http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/hynix/HY29F002TT-55.pdf
So it shouldn't be to much trouble to get it working.
It is a 256KB 5v PLCC32. I think it is parallel but you should check with the flashrom developers to confirm this. You probably want to desolder it and solder on a PLCC32 socket and get a compatible spare to experiment with, so that you do not brick you board. If you are no skilled with a solder iron i highly recommend paying some one who is.

Hey Anders, thanks for the reply. Good to hear that progress is being made =] I should have some free time available in the coming summer holidays, so I'll try to help out then. Regarding the rom chip, I got its number (HY29F002TC-90). I'll contact the flashrom developers about support for it. Cheers, David On 7 June 2010 00:20, Anders Jenbo wrote:
Hallo David
I am currently working on the chip-set that your board uses. So
support is in progress. I have debug console running via serial and i am about a 1/3 in to getting the ram initialized. If you think you can help (time is the only real skill required) coding in the support you are more then welcome.
You should get in contact with the flashrom developers to get
support for your flash chip. Remove the AMI BIOS lable from the rom chip and read the fist number on the actual chip, should be some thing similar to these http://www.flashrom.org/Supported_hardware. You can find the flashrom developers at freenode.net #flashrom, or .
Good luck -Anders
