Right. Removing the sticker sure helps. Atmel AT49F002NT is written on
the chip, which is supposed to be supported by Flashrom.

$ sudo flashrom -f -r -c "AT49F002(N)T" test.rom
Calibrating delay loop... 490M loops per second, 100 myus = 174 us. OK.
No coreboot table found.
Found chipset "VIA VT8235", enabling flash write... OK.
Probing for Atmel AT49F002(N)T, 256 KB: probe_jedec: id1 0x25, id2 0xe4
No EEPROM/flash device found.
Force read (-f -r -c) requested, forcing chip probe success:
Probing for Atmel AT49F002(N)T, 256 KB: Found chip "Atmel AT49F002(N)T" (256 KB) at physical address 0xfffc0000.
Force reading flash... done.

test.rom also has not only null written to it, so it seems to be
working.

What could be done, that the chip is auto-detected?

Yes. Thanks a lot. I should have figured this out by myself.


Anything else I can do?


Thanks,

Paul
