Hello slacker and jdhar,

Thank you for your replies. I feared about the fact that the flash programmer isn’t using HAL. Until now I didn’t tested the override functionality. I will do this as soon as possible. The program-, erase-, … algorithms of the used flash are identical with the specification of an AMD flash. After debugging I figured out that the HAL doesn’t identify the correct width of the device. So first I changed the code for the identification. After that there was another problem with the flash. After the identification process the flash isn’t in the normal read mode. To bring the device in this mode a reset command is necessary. I hope these changes can be done with the override functions.
