Please note that this will not fix writing, I'm just trying to get erase working and hope you can write to the (socketed?) chip with another tool. If the chip is not socketed, you may want to delay testing.
Of course it is socketed, I did it myself. http://www.coreboot.org/Image:Rca_rm4100_mods.jpg
Cool.
The board does not come socketed though. I have been using uniflash/hotflash to program the bios so far. But that is not really an option for the beta-testers so we need to get flashrom working. When I removed the // dumb check if erase was successful part from write_jedec and tried it seemed to work ok.
So reading from the chip after erase resulted in 0xff for the whole image? If not, I'd be very interested in the read result (use hexdump to check).
Thanks for your help Carl-Daniel.
You're welcome.
