I own a JTAGkey Tiny, I am interested to test flashing an SPI BIOS
chip with it, what should I do?

The webpage says:

"The Amontec JTAGkey2 can be used with flashrom for programming SPI
chips. JTAGkey and JTAGkey-Tiny should work, if you add them to
ft2232_spi.c (untested)."

Should I power the chip externally in 3.3v?

There are many JTAG boards based on FT2232, that would be great to
support them all.

Best,
