yes

For extra safety, I added a noreset option to the patch available at http://boeglin.org/static/benq/0001-Add-programmer-for-the-MSTAR-I2C-ISP-protocol.patch You can enable it by adding ",noreset=1" to the command-lines, like this: sudo ./flashrom -p mstarddc_spi:dev=/dev/i2c-1:49,noreset=1 … the nor...

Hey! Glad to hear you solved you...

edit2: nope, the same failure again shortly after the beginning of the writing process. reading and veryfying work without errors. "errno 6, sp1_nbyte_prgram failed during command execution at adress 0xd600" One question: did you manage to save the complete output log this time? Where there any oth...
