BK8000L change name

- unsolder flash chip on module(in my case it was FT25H04 by Fremont Micro Devices, datasheet: [1])
- connect it to programmer supported by flashrom [2]
- download flashrom source code [3]*
- extract, compile
- download flash content, or download dump from my github repository [4]

./flashrom --programmer serprog:dev=/dev/ttyUSB0 --read BK8000L.flash

edit with favorite hex editor:

search for asci string BK8000L, change it, save and flash:

./flashrom --programmer serprog:dev=/dev/ttyUSB0 --read BK8000L.flash

 solder flashchip back on module, power it and enjoy ;)

UPDATE 2019

No need to desolder chip, using this CH341A adapter [this one], I succesfully read/write chip, only requiremet is reset of module to be puled to ground (Credit goes here).
