The schematics for v2.0 reference a GD25LQ128EWIGR. I never checked the jedec
id. How did you retrieve this information, or is it maybe a difference in v0.1
and 2.0?

ack

Since it is only needed for bootloader updates and environment its maybe better
to stay on the safe side?

But I can test faster frequency if you want me to do..
