Hello, I have flashed this chip in the past but suddenly I keep getting this error when writing/verification. I tried two separate flashrom versions, I'll post both error messages below:
it looks like a communication error. It seems possible, that you could succeed simply by trying again. If you look at the numbers:
Verifying flash... FAILED at 0x00002fc3! Expected=0x44, Found=0x04, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x00ffffff: 0x83
and later
Verifying flash... FAILED at 0x000168e3! Expected=0x57, Found=0x17, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x00ffffff: 0x37
the error count got lower. This is possibly because flashrom only writes when it sees different flash contents compared to what it is about to write.
I would just try again as long as the "failed byte count" gets lower.
If that doesn't help, try to read (-r) and verify (-v) a few times. Only if reading is reliable, it makes sense to try to write. If it isn't, common issues are wire length (we recommend <=20cm) or a clip (if there is any) that's making a bad connection.
Hope that helps, Nico
