Internal programming

The SPI flash can be accessed using flashrom.

External programming

The easiest to flash externally is to simply extract the SPI flash from its socket. To do this gently take the SPI flash out of its socket and flash with your programmer.

NOTE: Don't forget to set the WP# AND HOLD# to 3V.

NOTE2: Make sure to reinsert it in the right direction afterward
