pfSense on Watchguard M370

So when you try to read the chip as shown here:

Note the following steps are for the AsProgrammer software. The steps are mostly same for both programmer software. Do not attempt the steps below unless the CMOS battery has been removed and the power cable has been disconnected from the M370.
a. Launch AsProgrammer
b. Click “Read ID” button and you should get a list of 3 chips (2 WINBOND W25Q128 chips and 1 Spansion. I believe you can select either of the WINBOND options but I used the W25Q128FV.

Do you see the chip ID'd?

@v16v attach a picture od the board. Preferably by chipset and CMOS battery.

I don't have a camera, just a cell phone, but it takes bad pictures.

@v16v On the board take a look at PU16, left of that there is a EPROM. Attach what the chip says.

@v16v I'm not getting much online about that check,

What does this chip say ?

So can we assume your flash software is not recognising the flash chip via SPI?

@v16v It hard to say, where the BIOS chip is on that board is tbh.
