content: I've got away using BusPirate and flashrom utility. It took like 5 minutes to rewrite 8Mb flash. I've heard people using BeagleBone with flashrom as standalone programmer and it's way much faster this way.

content: FT232, parallel bus driven by D2XX library. Software should be pretty simple to write by yourself.

content: Thanks for your suggestions, actually ponyprog does not support M25P series,and flashrom utility seems to be a Linux program, do we have a windows based software? because I'm a windows guy.
