Comment(by charles.herndon@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 hailfinger]:
 > strace is unable to see any flashrom activity because flashrom does not
 use syscalls. (There are no syscalls for flashing.)

 something, but no utility like strace can see it.

 according to their data sheets, they fail sometimes. Any insight is
 appreciated. No other chip vendor has these problems.

 I'm willing to provide any information you need.  The only thing I do know
 about this chip is that by mistake I was successful programming it with an
 EEPROM programmer using the settings for SST49LF004 (I forgot to change
 models to the Winbond part)
