This is version 0.9.8 if you guys are still out there.
Hello Adrian,
I can not offer a certain explanation for the behaviour you are seeing. However, it looks like the communication between the programmer and the flash chip is not as stable as needed. The last FAILED message indicates that of the 16 Million bytes written only about 2000 failed. That's not nothing but might not show up easily when just probing for chips and might be undetected during reads as well (e.g. by comparing multiple reads manually).
If you were on IRC a few days ago then you know the following links already, but in any case there is not much else to offer you at this time: https://www.flashrom.org/Common_problems https://www.flashrom.org/ISP
Hi Stefan,
Thanks for replying! I actually found out the reason for the discrepancy by accident last week - that flash has an OTP section that's locked so the 2k that's unavailable will be down to that. Reflashing and reconnecting everything got me going again so I'm now chasing down a CFE bootloader for the BCM6328 chip in this router :)
Cheers!
