Hi guys! I'm working with this COM Express module from Adlink (http://www.adlinktech.com/PD/web/PD_detail.php?cKind=&pid=1001&seq=&...) and sometimes it doesn't recognize it's flash chip. The following log happened after a failed probing. I then let the board resting some time and tried to program again, with the results bellow.
This is a quite problematic module. Frequently it fails to probe the flash chip. I have to reboot the system so it can see it again. It also seems to corrupt the module flash even if I select to write to the baseboard flash. I don't know if it's a flashrom issue or a bios/hardware issue.
I can safely reboot the system because we have a second flash on the baseboard.
Right now I am using the module's flash to play with coreboot and i'm maintaining a copy of the original BIOS on the baseboard. Changing the role of both chips doesn't seem to change much, except for the corruption issue (didn't made much tests yet, though).
I have a Kontron module that I use in this same base board and it works pretty well.
