Yes, it does.
a800a8 looks like the error status for low programming voltage detected -
you need to add some code to handle set_vpp (and unset_vpp) for your board.
The Intel Strata
allows the board designer to add an extra layer of data protection by making
the Vpen signal switchable or hardwired to Vpenh.   When Vpen < Vpenh, memory
cannot be written or erased.  Looks like your board is switchable, ie. you need
to set
and unset Vpen via software.
