The device names are different on MacOS than Linux. /dev/tty.usbmodemnnnn is correct for CTC devices.
I did finally settle on community firmware 7.1 without any optimization. That works with flashrom and doesn’t require being reset after every invocation of flashrom. I haven’t upgraded the bootloader at all - it’s still the factory one and that seems to work just fine.

What is your BPv4 bootloader version? I've tried many builds of BPv4 community firmware, the latest is from 12 June 2018 sources (didn't feel the need to upgrade it later) and never had any problem with flashrom. However, my firmware builds have been always paired with the latest builds of BPv4 bootloader.
My firmware builds are shared here - http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=8498&p=652...
- please try a 12062018 build to see if it solves your problem. If
not, then you'll have to upgrade your bootloader - to do that you may need to get a Pickit2 tool (about 8 usd with free ship from aliexpress / china). See the instructions here for more details - http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Bus_Pirate_v4_and_Pickit2_(bootloader_an...)
Also, perhaps your command should look like " sudo ./flashrom -p buspirate_spi:dev=/dev/ttyACM0,spispeed=1M ..." , this is the first time I see a weird "tty.usbmodem000000011" and it might be incorrect. In addition, hope you could test your BPv4 with Linux, maybe there would be a better result (don't know the quality of OS X brew ports).

I did get it working by backing back down to v7.0 of the BP firware, but now we’re back to it locking up after every invocation. But I do appear to have successfully programmed my W25Q64JVSSIM by adding a flashrom.c entry for it - basically copying the one for the 0x7018 and chopping the sizes in half.
But I would like to know what the *optimal* BP firmware version is (and where to get it). I want this flashrom / BP4 combination exclusively for this job (burning flash chips), so it doesn’t necessarily have to be good at anything else.

Yes. Nothing changes. I slowed it down in an attempt to get probing to work.
I’ve upgraded the pirate to v7.11 firmware, and that got rid of the need to reset it every time, but it still doesn’t work.
I’ve attempted to add support for the chip into flashchips.c - to at least get it to recognize the 0x7017 ID, but that doesn’t work either.

It’s as if flashrom isn’t talking to the chip properly at all. I do see it lighting up “mode” and “pwr” LEDs briefly while trying to probe, but it just doesn’t work.
But standalone, it works fine:

That spispeed looks unusual. Have you tried spispeed=1M? _______________________________________________ flashrom mailing list -- flashrom@flashrom.org To unsubscribe send an email to flashrom-leave@flashrom.org
