This is an example capture of a Macronix MX25L1605D (MX25L1605DPI-12G) SPI flash chip (16MBit == 2Mbyte; NOR flash) that is being written to. The SPI programmer hardware used is openbiosprog-spi, see http://randomprojects.org/wiki/Openbiosprog-spi The software used for programming it is flashrom, see http://flashrom.org/FT2232SPI_Programmer The command line used was flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type=2232H,port=A -w filename where 'filename' is a 2MByte file filled with lots of consecutive "HelloWorld" ASCII character strings. The logic analyzer used for capturing is a Saleae Logic at a sample rate of 2MHz. The capture was done using sigrok (02/2011) via sigrok-cli -d 0:samplerate=2MHz --time 5s -o foo The Saleae Logic probes were connected like this to the MX25L1605D chip: Probe SPI chip pin ------------------------ 1 (black) CS# 2 (brown) SO/SIO1 (a.k.a MISO) 3 (red) SCLK 4 (orange) SI/SIO0 (a.k.a MOSI) 5 (yellow) WP#/ACC 6 (green) HOLD# GND GND The capture is only partial, it contains 5 seconds of the write process (it does not contain the chip identification, chip erase, etc. which comes before the actual write parts; it also does not contain anything after those 5 seconds, the flashrom command took quite a bit longer than 5 seconds).
