[flashrom] Programming N25Q128

[Steve Miller]

FYI,

This is informational only.   I can program the ROM.

When programming the N25Q128 from the Raspberry PI,  I  will get verification errors.   If I push it up the hill several times, it will eventually pass.   The N25Q128 remains on the target board, I am hold the ARM processor on that board in RESET.    The Raspberry PI is attached via a ribbon cable and 100 ohm series resistors.

Since my system is unique,  it is entirely possible that this is just an artifact of my setup.  However, the message as pasted below, asked me to report it, so I am doing that.   I tried both the release and the latest snapshot.  Both seem to operate the same.

I tried three different target boards with the N25Q128 and all operate the same.  Verification fails, but if I repeat the programming operation several times, it will pass.   Please note the message at the end.  The previous program and verify attempt failed.  However, when I tried again, it aborted early  because what I was attempting to program into the part already matched the parts contents. AKA, nothing to do.
