Hello all,
I have successfully flashed a N25Q128..1E SPI flash using flashrom with
a 16MB image.
The programmer was an external one: NI USB-8452. This is not supported
in the mainline yet, but patch is coming soon.
/Flashing output (I have forgotten to //run with -V//)://

Hello all,
I am using the flashrom with an external programmer to flash various SPI
flashes a lot.
In most cases I do not care about the old flash contents when flashing,
so the "/Reading old flash chip contents/" step does not have any added
value in my use cases. The code also has a FIXME
I'm not sure if you still need this input but the program requested it.
Hope it helps!

Hi Marton,
I respectfully disagree with this approach. Reading the old contents is not
just used for backup. It's used so that flashrom can selectively erase and
write blocks which usually saves time because erase and write operations
are orders of magnitude slower than reads on NOR flash.
So,
