Sorry but the saga continues. Yes, this looks like a dual-die. I tried it with and without the --dual-die and no help. I tried:

sof2flash --input=<yourfile>_hw.sof --output=<yourfile>_hw.flash --offset=0x00C20000 --pfl --optionbit=0x00018000 --programmingmode=PS (with/without --dual-die)

and I get the same message.
