CFI Query

The common flash interface (CFI) flash memory devices conform to basic
flash commands. The most basic command is Query which switches the
device into a ROM table mode so that features of the flash device are
determined by reading values from the table.

To perform a CFI query using the host application, click CFI Query.
Notice that the memory table displays contents that correlate with the
table contents as described in the device datasheet.

To put the flash device back in user mode, press Reset on the control
panel.
