Absolutely sure. It's the same board!

After digging a little deeper into the sst documentation, I found the
problem:

SST flash need a three byte write sequence (no one), to enter the cfi query
mode!

5555 <- aa
2aaa <- 55
5555 <- 98

This does not seem to be CFI compliant!!!

How can we support the sst chips? Extend the cfi code (special for sst), or
extend the amd code? In PPCBoot we use the amd mode and it works pretty
good.

Any ideas/comments?

Stefan.
