lol.. I've just been reading those since I have in my other hand a 82546EB based dual port PCI-X card with parallel rom on it. Of course the rom on that isn't supported either :) It's another Atmel, this time a .. trivially adding it to flashchips.c isn't getting me anywhere, so I was just investigating the board enable stuff.
AT49BV002A(N)'s ID is 0x07 afaics and that's equal to AT49F002(N)... hm. what did you try? does probing with the nicintel_spi code help?
your problem sounds similar. maybe you need an enable procedure too (different from the one in nicintel_spi_init),
could be..
or you dont really havethe at25f spi chip?
while I'll admit that's possible, have a look and tell me what you think http://imagebin.org/179023
the upload/site seems broken to me, but i guess you are able to read, so... (i was thinking of a possible misunderstanding on my side previously). :)
i have not looked at the data sheet of (your) 82540EM (yet), but it might help if one does... ;)
That very datasheet appears to be what was used to write the driver, the link to it is in the top of nicintel_spi.c and that's where I got the hope that it could maybe work :)
that data sheet contains much more than that... and also parallel flash interface descriptions. but... appendix paragraph B.2 says: The 82540EP/EM does not support a parallel FLASH interface.
so it is certainly not exactly the same problem i had; and i cant help you further right now, sorry.
