Hi Stefan,

was there any development towards the functionality discussed
in this old thread: check_trans() and probe_spi_rdid_edi()?

I am playing with these chips again.

FTR I am able to read and write S25FL129P1 chips using flashrom
v0.9.7-r1782 which is in Debian ubstable, it supports the similar
"S25FL128S......0", but only the bulk erase function worked
(spi_block_erase_60), I wasn't able to do a block or sector erase; can
this depend on the programmer (ft2232_spi)?

I will send a proper log the next time I write a chip.

I have also tried to rebase this old set about check_trans() and
probe_spi_rdid_edi() on top of the latest svn, I will check if the code
still works but I wanted to ask first what the current status
is, and if there is still interest to support rdid EDI.

Thanks,
   Antonio
