We are troubleshooting an issue that is only present in a recent build of boards. We are unable to write to flash. In this particular build we moved to a different flash due to obsolescence issues and are considering whether or not this is the root cause of our issue.

Using DVFlasher_1_12.exe, we confirmed that there is an issue writing to the flash in general:
