On my NM10 board, I looked into in-system programming, but Carl-Daniel convinced me that there was too much that could go wrong.
Well, I just read the Chip identification in-system with my bus pirate:
SPI> [0x9f,r,r,r] /CS ENABLED WRITE: 0x9F READ: 0xFF READ: 0xC2 READ: 0x20 /CS DISABLED
Looks good so far and the board isn't fried ;) It works while the board is in standby. I'm driving the pins directly with 3,3V and GND. No open-drain or something. I saw on the oscilloscope that, when using open-drain mode, the SCK line floats. So, there doesn't seem to be an external pull-down/-up resistor and the internal seems to be deactivated.
The only weird thing is that I need to read 3 Bytes and not 2 as stated in the datasheet of the SPI flash, but I don't care about that right now. Also flashrom doesn't work with the buspirate. I'll have to look into this.
BTW, just curious, have you had any luck getting the datasheets from Intel that cover memory init? Or did you even bother trying?
No, the flashing is the first thing I'm doing with this board, sorry.
