Hi Kyle, I have added high speed write support to the Dediprog SF100 driver in flashrom and it should now be close to the native speed seen with the vendor Windows tool.
However, the Dediprog SF100 needs someone to check what happens on the SPI bus with the help of a logic analyzer before it is enabled by default. Right now there is reasonable cause for suspicion that the Dediprog SF100 uses the FAST_READ command which is not supported by older flash chips. Similar concerns apply to the write process which may or may not use the RDSR command after each write. Reading and writing should be safe for pretty much every SPI flash chip ever released in the last 3 years, but as long as I'm not 100% sure about every SPI flash chip supported by flashrom, I fear Dediprog SF100 support will stay disabled by default. Although I wrote the driver, I do not own a Dediprog SF100, so I have to wait for someone with enough time and a logic analyzer to check this. Once we know what the Dediprog SF100 does on the SPI bus, we can enable it by default in flashrom.
