I can if I use PIO for short transfers. Using DMA for all transfers results in the received data prefixed with 00 so the NOR flash identification fails. Admittedly I have no idea what the flash memory actually contains so if all DMA reads were always prefixed with 00 I could not tell. I vaguely recall reading the whole content and parsing the I can probably make the minimum length for DMA configurable so I can fall back to PIO when the controler locks up. It seems setting up a PIO transfer makes it work again.
