Hello Nico, I have finally been able to try your suggestion, and I belive that my original problem has been solved. However, I'm not yet able to flash the chip. I don't know if this should be posted as a new question to the mailing list, but as this problem could also just be a rookie mistake by me, I will try to post it here first. The chip I'm trying to flash is the Macronix MX25L12873F which support was added for in commit 16661d82e3c17e224a21c109572b0834ec63a17c / Change-Id I59c8067f15b5ceac5a2e2f8fe93431a465f17e23 on 14/07-21. I'm using flashrom built from master branch (7dcd0de). The SOIC clip is high quality with very good grip, and so far I have never had any communication problems with the chip. I have made sure that everything is wired correctly and also tried with different values for spispeed, but the error is the same: ======================================================================== Command line (14 args): flashrom -p \ linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0,spispeed=1000 -c \ MX25L12833F/MX25L12835F/MX25L12845E/MX25L12865E/MX25L12873F -w \ firmware.bin -l rom.layout -i fd --noverify-all -V -o out.log Added layout entry 00000000 - 00000fff named fd Using region: "fd".
