<div dir="ltr">Xo and I have been using SF100s with AST2500 EVB. It works OK. The main gotcha seems to be that after writing to the flash with the SF100, it is left in a state that the AST2500 can't seem to boot from. Power cycling fixes it. I haven't spent the time to investigate further. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 16, 2016 at 10:52 PM, Cédric Le Goater <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:clg@kaod.org" target="_blank">clg@kaod.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">On 06/17/2016 07:32 AM, Joel Stanley wrote:<br>

</span>Yes. It works pretty well from a raspberry pi. I also have used a<br>
Flashcat programmer.<br>
<br>
You should make sure that the board is not booting from the flash<br>
module. For that you need to unselect the flash chip, CS0 on header J44.<br>

</span>and one of your board perhaps. With details of what is around the<br>
flash.<br>
