[flashrom] Report: Winbond W39V080FA -- success, mostly

[Michael Sternberg]

Hello,

I'd like to report a couple of mixed cases for several nodes having a "Winbond W39V080FA" chip.

First, I was using flashrom-v0.9.1. I had success with about 6 nodes, then the flash failed on the next two. The ERASE step succeeded, but the Programming step hung at address 0c0000. So far, I could recover one of the chips in another node (PLCC32 socket). I booted normally, then hot-swapped in the failed chip and was quite happy when a read succeeded using a newly installed  flashrom v0.9.3-r1299 (from Fedora EPEL).  Re-flash then succeeded for this chip as well. I could not find a significant difference between the nodes that succeeded and those that did not. They started with the same BIOS, but the CMOS may have differed. I then continued with flashrom v0.9.3-r1299 for more nodes and did not have a failure so far (ran on 8 nodes).

I realize that the thin statistics alone do not support declaring full success, but hope that the evidently changed write regime (erase/write is now interleaved) has done the trick.


Thank you!
Michael
