BIOS .bin_statusregval 2 B Shared

A two-byte companion file holding the status register value captured while reading a Winbond W25Q16 flash chip in December 2018. It contains no firmware itself and names no device or board. Some programmer software writes a file like this next to each chip read so the protection and configuration bits can be restored after writing. It matters mainly when the matching 2 MB dump with the same timestamp is restored. Block-protect bits left set in the status register can make a chip refuse writes or keep a board from booting, so check them after programming.

The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @biosfilebins. Enginerys does not host this file.

Back up your own chip before writing any dump, and match the full board number and revision. Flashing guide →
