This blog post demonstrates how to dump firmware from an MX25L6406E/MX25L6408E SPI flash chip using two tools (Bus Pirate vs Shikra). It includes chip and Shikra pinouts, wiring guidance, and flashrom command examples, and concludes that the Shikra (ft2232-based) reads the chip much faster (~3 minutes) compared to the Bus Pirate (~30 minutes).
