Howto program unsupported Flash using Computex CSIDE

First refer to the board user manual and check the bus width of the Flash interface. Select the bus width in the configuration of Flash address space and select an arbitrary Flash device.

Restart the configuration. CSIDE will show the actual Makers ID and Device ID that is read from the flash. Now, search from the following links whether the Maker and the Device are supported. If the maker is not supported, try the Matching device configurations.


I had EON EN29LV3320AB Flash device installed in my board. But, I selected Spansion MBM29LV320BE in CSIDE and successfully programmed Flash. Because both have the same Device ID 0x22F9.
