Hello,

I am trying to get the Macronics Flash MX25L3205D using FTDI UM232H-B-WE with Flashrom 0.9.7-r1764 on lunux.

The programmer UM232H seems to be supported based on http://flashrom.org/Supported_programmers
The flash MX25L3205D seems to be supported based on: http://flashrom.org/Supported_hardware  (MX datasheet: http://www.macronix.com/Lists/DataSheet/Attachments/1534/MX25L6405D,%203V,%2064Mb,%20v1.5.pdf)

I have the following pins connected using the following mapping and connected the MX flash using test clip:

UM232H Mapping        Macronics (25L3205D)
D0->SPI_SK                    6
D1->SPI_DO                   2
D2->SPI_DI                     5
D3->SPI_CS                    1
D4->SPI_WP                  3
D5->SPI_HOLD              7
GND        4
VCC        8    (3.13v)

When I use flashrom with command line: flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type232H, 
flashrom replies with "Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip 
(RDID)" (0 kB, SPI) on ft2232_spi. Unsupported etc......

It is my understanding that the 25L3205D is supported and I am not sure why I would get this message. Any pointers would be very helpful.

Thanks!
