That is being discussed a bit more in another thread (https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...2#pid50402 ).
Ultimately it depends on the surrounding circuitry and whether applying power to the flash chip causes too much of the rest of the board to come alive (where it will either draw too much current from the programmer or just get in the way by trying to communicate with the flash chip itself). After reading the schematic I'm fairly optimistic it will work for PBP but definitely not 100% sure.
