It founds now the arduino, but not the LPC chip:

========================================================
flashrom -p serprog:/dev/ttyUSB0:115200
flashrom v0.9.2-r1028 on Linux 2.6.35-27-generic (x86_64), built with
libpci 3.0.0, GCC 4.4.4, little endian
flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org

Calibrating delay loop... OK.
serprog:Programmer name "ATMega88 LPC   "
No EEPROM/flash device found.
Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically.
========================================================

I am probably wrong in my pinout matching:

If someone knows more about LPC...

Best,

software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
