The dots are placeholders for variable characters in the chip name for different chip variants. And remember to add the -c option also when you perform the other operations, flashrom still can't discriminate between the variants on its own. > flashrom v0.9.8-rc1-r1883 on Linux 3.14.0-rc8 (x86_64) > flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org > > Error: Unknown chip 'S25FL128S' specified. > Run flashrom -L to view the hardware supported in this flashrom version. > > > (3) Tried to read the chip first.

Dell - Internal Use - Confidential Hello flashrom team. We are trying to access Spansion S25FL128S chip using flashrom (ver 0.9.7). It is connected to Rangeley cpu using SPI i/f. It seems that this chip is not supported in current version of flashrom ? Pls see the errors seen during read and write in attachments. Do we need to import patch listed in url below for suppothing this chip: http://flashrom.flashrom.narkive.com/zDxnVzWn/s25fl128s-0-on-usbblaster-spi regards lakesh

I wonder if that is a bug in how we do it... but the write routine looks really trivial. Maybe it would be a good idea to start a list with monitors, SoC revisions...

Re: [flashrom] Add PICkit2 as an SPI programmer

The patch as committed works fine here (only tested read). In addition, I tried other voltage values (eg. 2.9V, 3.3V, 3.1V) beyond the 3 currently supported and the hardware happily sets those voltages as well.
