Issue's programming FLASH on I210

Hi,

I am currently having issues programming the I210 with external flash (SST25VF040B)

I have managed to flash one chip on a prototype but I think this may have been luck.

When I open up Lanconfig tool my Flash comes up as protected. When I try to program the NVM image from file I get error file ID =0x1533 dev ID = 0x1531

I know that the 1531 is the non-programmed FLASH and that 1533 is when it is programmed so it seems that this shouldn't be an error?

Pin 12 is pulled low (through a 3k3) to disable security also.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Kyle.
