Is anyone else focused on hardware approaches to SPI flash programming?
I know this is an inexorable push and welcome it from the layout
perspective, but finding a way to rewrite SPI-flash BIOS in place is an
interesting challenge.
My thoughts to present are to overdrive (temporarily) the signals using
a SO-8 clip and maybe an ACT buffer, but obviously it's not as optimal
as a BIOS Savior. JTAG would be better where supported, but I don't see
a general solder-free approach.
Off-reflector replies welcome.
