Hi, I've a chip which is from SST and labeled as PH29EE010 150-3CF. flashrom doesnt detect this chip although it should as -L stats: flashrom -L | grep 29EE010 SST SST29EE010 P R W 128 Parallel
if I check for the chip it still fails and reads flash content: flashrom -V -c SST29EE010 flashrom v0.9.2-r1039 on Linux 2.6.27-3 (i586), built with libpci 2.2.4-pre4, GCC 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21), little endian flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org

Probing for SST SST29EE010, 128 KB: probe_jedec_common: id1 0x25, id2 0xfb, id1 is normal flash content, id2 is normal flash content No EEPROM/flash device found. Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically.
but if I now probe for Winbond W29C011 then flashrom of course fails but shows the right flash ID: flashrom -V -c W29EE011 flashrom v0.9.2-r1039 on Linux 2.6.27-3 (i586), built with libpci 2.2.4-pre4, GCC 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21), little endian flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org

so what is obvious is the huge difference with the calibrating loop, and then that the probe for W29EE011 gives "id1 0xbf, id2 0x07" which is exactly what the datasheet from SST outlines for the SST29EE010 ...
I really wonder what goes on there sine - as -L shows - this chip is marked as "P R W" ...
