It's an SPI flash that isn't mapped to /dev.
As far as I know, fully wiping it is recoverable, but involves putting the Mac into device firmware update mode, and then recovering from another machine.
- marcan_42 5y agoAIUI if you actually wipe NOR flash entirely, DFU mode won't save you, because the Mac won't even know who it is (MAC addresses, serial number, etc.). However, I can't claim to have tried it, so there may well be additional safeguards. I'm just not particularly interested in risking it for our users either way :)
