| Try to use W25X40 or SST25VF040 first. Ignor the ID first. If it works, then we can add this chip in. |

I tried W25X40 and it seems to work ok. I did not try SST25VF040. |

Good.
For now, add following lines into the devices.txt
Name="A25L40P",ID="372013",Class="W25X10",Category="SERIAL_EPROM",MFG="AMIC",Vcc="3.6V",CodeSize="524288";

I added that line to the devices.txt file but ID check failed. reads it ok but I can't ID it. |

I guess all i got to do is change the ID to 7F3720 correct?
from this
Name="A25L40P",ID="372013",Class="W25X10",Category="SERIAL_EPROM",MFG="AMIC",Vcc="3.6V",CodeSize="524288";
to this
Name="A25L40P",ID="7F3720",Class="W25X10",Category="SERIAL_EPROM",MFG="AMIC",Vcc="3.6V",CodeSize="524288";

Yes.
You are correct.
Name="A25L40P",ID="7F3720",Class="W25X10",Category="SERIAL_EPROM",MFG="AMIC",Vcc="3.6V",CodeSize="524288";
The full chip ID should be "7F372013", but current software only read first 6 characters. This will fixed in the next software release.
But this does not affect the chip other operations. |
