INTERNAL & PARTNERS

Hello Anastasia,

thank you very much for the answer.
I was able to solve the issue but forgot to write to you.

As always, problem was in front of the computer. 😉
I compiled it, but started always the old one. I have missed the . in the 
syntax.

Best regards
Stefan

Hello Stefan,

I looked at your logs, it seems that your version is compiled from old source 
code, and probably with local modifications on top of upstream code.

There is a message in the logs about SFDP detection, and that message was 
updated in November 2024 - but your logs still have old one. So the sources are 
older than Nov 2024.

From the logs, your chip returns id 0x7016 and this id we support, chip 
definition for it has a name "W25Q32JV_M", current source is here
https://github.com/flashrom/flashrom/blob/main/flashchips/winbond.c#L912
I don't see in the logs probing for W25Q32JV_M , so perhaps the sources were 
older, before this chip definition was added.

Normally flashrom prints its version in the beginning (which could tell how old 
the source is), but in your logs it says "flashrom unknown" (second line). This 
means, there could be local modification on top of upstream code.

We have an official document on how to build from source:
https://flashrom.org/dev_guide/building_from_source.html
Or you can check maybe your linux distro is packaging the recent version of 
flashrom, which you can use.
