Bus Pirate Development / Re: I wonder flash memory.
Howdy,

So SPI is a term describing the type interface to talk to the memory (Describes the signals on each wire and the protocol used to talk to it).

Serial Flash Memory is a general term for memory that talks serially but doesn't specify what the interface is.  Other serial interface types exist of course.  Find a datasheet and see..

Looks like this datasheet says your memory uses a Dual and Quad spi interface. 

I believe in most cases the dual and quad spi parts will also speak the single bit SPI protocol also.

Differences in serial flash and NAND fash:
 Unfortunately the term NAND Flash memory doesn't specify if it's serial or parallel.  You have to dig around for a data sheet and see if it is SPI(meaning Serial) or another interface. if not specified NAND is likely parallel not Serial.

Hope that helps.  I've just joined the forum also but have a bit of experience.

Bus Pirate Support / V4 BusPirate Mount holes isolated?
Just purchased a Bus Pirate V4 for tinkering and noticed the screw sent with the Acrylic case kit are an interference fit with the mounting holes.  I looked at the summary PCB gerber and couldn't tell if the through holes are electrically isolated? 

Maybe there are individual layers I could review of the PCB(Not sure where?). Could anyone please tell me for certain if I force the screws in that they won't short internal layers when they penetrate the thin through hole plating?

Thanks so much for your time,
Mike
