<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am having problem programing N25Q128 using flashrom0.9.7. I got the following errors from erasing address at 0x83f000. I have tried different boards and they failed at the same locations. There are three versions of N25Q128, uniform,
top, and bottom. Only the 8 first/last sectors of top/bottom version supports subsector erase. But, from N25Q128 configuration in flashchip.c, it first tries SSE (0x20) for the entire chip. Could it be the problem? Is there a fix for this? Thank you very
much. <o:p></o:p></p>
