Dear sir/madam,
I am trying to communicate with a 1MB SST25VF010 flash chip using flashrom V0.9.2-r1141 on Ubuntu 11.04 through a Bus Pirate v3b. I am a novice user of all four. Flashrom reports: Found chip "Generic unknown SPI chip (RDID)" (0 KB, SPI) at physical address 0x0. Could it be that this chip (http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/82222.pdf) is not supported by flashrom? Could it be that flashrom is not using the required serial mode 0 or 3?
hello david,
the version shipped with ubuntu (and debian) is outdated. your chip is supported in the current developer version, but not in the latest stable (0.9.3). please see http://www.flashrom.org/Downloads for how to get and compile the current version.
