hey my shot in the dark wasnt THAT bad then after all :) the patch you sent is basically fine, but please resend it after you have corrected the order of the chipsets. the vx855 should be added just after the vx800 not at the end also, please add a signed-off tag as described in http://www.coreboot.org/Development_Guidelines#Sign-off_Procedure thanks! -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner

what do you refer to? Did you send a patch before or did you suggest this for example in an IRC conversion?

John, could you please add also the board you used to verify this. This is not only for completeness but also for my curiosity what boards are out there using this chipset. Thanks, Paul

we talked on irc about it and i suggested trying one of the existing via chipset enables, but apparently the wrong one ;) -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner
Attached is an updated version of the patch to enable the VX855 chipset. It addresses the chipset ordering issue that Stefan had with my original patch. As for the board used to verify operation, it is a custom board that we manufacture for this product: http://www.devonit.com/hardware/tc2-thin-client/technical-specifications Signed-off-by: John Schmerge <jbschmerge@gmail.com> for Devon IT

Thanks for writing and acking. Committed in r1295. Regards, Michael Karcher
Hello John, i am writing to you because of your previous work on VIA-based boards. I have refined flashrom's handling of all VIA VX-family chipsets in a new patch. If you still have access to some VIA systems could you please apply the patch[1] and at least probe for a chip? Be aware that we require the -p internal option now to select the internal programmer (there is no implicit default programmer set at compilation time any more).

Hi Stefan, i'm sorry for the rather slow response, i've been taking some time away from everything tech related. Someone you may wish to reach out to to ask about this is Ian Geiser at Devon IT (my former employer)... His email address is igeiser@devonit.com -John On Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 7:46 AM, Stefan Tauner <stefan.tauner@student.tuwien.ac.at> wrote:
