[flashrom] E350M1 Winbond W25Q32BVAIG and bus pirate

[Marek]

Hi Stefan,

in the meantime I discovered that I had the wires wrong, the Winbond chip
doesn't have pin 1 marked
so it's basically:

8    7    6    5
----------------
  winbond
25Q32BVAIG
----------------
1    2    3    4

With write-protect and hold pins left unconnected I'm getting the following

Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q32.V" (4096 kB, SPI).
This chip may contain one-time programmable memory. flashrom cannot read
and may never be able to write it, hence it may not be able to completely
clone the contents of this chip (see man page for details).
Reading old flash chip contents... done.

Uh oh. Erase/write failed. Checking if anything changed.
Your flash chip is in an unknown state.
Please report this on IRC at chat.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or
mail flashrom at flashrom.org, thanks!
Raw bitbang mode version 1
Bus Pirate shutdown completed.


It seems that both hold and write-protect should be connected to 3.3V
but I'm not sure how to achieve it with BP 3.6.
I'm unable to paste the text describing hold and write-protect
(datasheet can be found here
http://www.elinux.org/images/f/f5/Winbond-w25q32.pdf page 8)
but essentailly both are active low.

thanks,

Marek
