I am writing to report an issue I encountered while attempting to use Flashrom on my system. I am currently using Flashrom version 1.4.0-devel on a Raspberry Pi running Linux 5.15.61-v7+ (armv7l). When trying to perform an erase operation on a Macronix flash chip "MX25U3235E/F" (4096 kB, SPI) using the linux_spi interface, I encountered the following error:
FAILED at 0x00000000! Expected=0xff, Found=0x00, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x003fffff: 0x3b5631 ERASE FAILED! Erase/write done from 0 to 3fffff Erase FailedYour flash chip is in an unknown state.
I have attempted to troubleshoot the issue by ensuring proper connections and trying the operation multiple times without success. I have also verified that the flash chip is supported by Flashrom. Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this issue or any additional troubleshooting steps I can take? I am eager to contribute to resolving this problem and willing to provide any further information or logs that may be needed. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your support and assistance.
