Check the list of SOIC-8 flash chips at ../hcl/gm45_remove_me.html#flashchips but do note that these are only 4MiB (32Mb) chips. The only X200 SPI chips with 8MiB capacity are SOIC-16. For 8MiB capacity in this case, the X201 SOIC-8 flash chip (Macronix 25L6445E) might work. +
+ Another possible solution: ground GPIO33 and boot up in non-descriptor mode. This might make software flashing possible, if + it's possible to circumvent any flashing protections that might exist.
