Hello again.

I managed to dig up a board using MCP79 / nForce 730i.

It is using an ASUS board, although you won't find many references to it on their site because it is only sold as part of a barebone chassis.

dmidecode says: BIOS Information Vendor: Phoenix Technologies, LTD Version: ASUS P5N78L ACPI BIOS Revision 0501 Release Date: 12/30/2008

Attached are the two outputs for this board.

HTH, Ivo Anjo

Hello.

After seeing a request in http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showpost.php?p=107559&postcount=5 for a dump of flashrom using my nforce 2, here are the results.

I'm using an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe board, dmidecode says: BIOS Information Vendor: Phoenix Technologies, LTD Version: ASUS A7N8X2.0 Deluxe ACPI BIOS Rev 1008 Release Date: 08/04/2004

Attached are the results of running flashrom with the specified patch, and lspci.

Hope this helps, Ivo Anjo

Could you rerun "flashrom -V" with flashrom revision 902 (or later)? That should give us quite a boatload of information for SPI detection. Thanks. Regards, Carl-Daniel -- Developer quote of the year: "We are juggling too many chainsaws and flaming arrows and tigers."

Flashrom output, rev 905, MCP78S board.

Thanks. This helped a lot, and rev 906 now should give you way improved output. Could you please retest your two boards with r906? It should recognize that the boards use only SPI, and then disable all buses because we don't support MCP SPI yet. Sorry for keeping you busy with testing and retesting. This should be the last test for now. If everything goes well, I'll have time to write the MCP SPI driver mid-April (need to concentrate on university exams until then).

Attached is output with rev 906 for the MCP78S board. No problem at all. I think flashrom is a great app, so if I can help, I'm glad to.

Thanks, it is indeed very helpful to have that output.

Here's the output of 'flashrom -V' on an Acer Aspire Revo 3600 'Nettop' which has SPI flash. Maybe it is of some use. :) Also, the line "Mapping MCP67 SPI at 0xfae80000, unaligned size 0x544." was sent to stderr rather than stdout which made redirecting to a file slightly less simple. -- Andrew. flashrom v0.9.1-r919 No coreboot table found.

Host bus type None and chip bus type SPI are incompatible. No EEPROM/flash device found. If you know which flash chip you have, and if this version of flashrom supports a similar flash chip, you can try to force read your chip. Run: flashrom -f -r -c similar_supported_flash_chip filename Note: flashrom can never write when the flash chip isn't found automatically.

Here is the "flashrom -V" output with revision 904 for the MCP79 board. HTH, Ivo Anjo On Sun, Feb 14, 2010 at 12:53 AM, Carl-Daniel Hailfinger < c-d.hailfinger.devel.2006@gmx.net> wrote:

I managed to dig up a board using MCP79 / nForce 730i.

It is using an ASUS board, although you won't find many references to it on their site because it is only sold as part of a barebone chassis.

dmidecode says: BIOS Information Vendor: Phoenix Technologies, LTD Version: ASUS P5N78L ACPI BIOS Revision 0501

Could you rerun "flashrom -V" with flashrom revision 902 (or later)? That should give us quite a boatload of information for SPI detection. Thanks.
