I built flashrom from commit 7b8b945a004ba69529fe0283ad18a40ee34255bd

I was able to read firmware from my pci card.

I don't have an original firmware (version 013600) to compare it to but it
looks legit:

cmp -l vl805_fw_013600.bin vl805_fw_013701.bin | head
  130  40  41
  131 256 245
  133  42  43
  134 340 147
  151 214 374
  172  74 303
  178 166 346
  180  43  44
  181 202  11
  241  42  41

flashrom dumps the whole 512KB of FM25Q04 using generic SPI.

Comparing other official firmware my guess is the layout(?) for this
firmware should be:
0:17AD7 FW013600

i'M keeping track of firmware on

flashrom unknown on Linux 4.15.0-130-generic (x86_64)
flashrom was built with libpci 3.5.2, GCC 7.5.0, little endian
Command line (7 args): ./flashrom -VV --programmer vl805 -r test.img -o
test.log
Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).

SFDP has autodetected a flash chip which is not natively supported by
flashrom yet.
All standard operations (read, verify, erase and write) should work, but to
support all possible features we need to add them manually.
You can help us by mailing us the output of the following command to
flashrom@flashrom.org:
'flashrom -VV [plus the -p/--programmer parameter]'
Thanks for your help!
