For Help of Flashrom Usage
by HongGang.Ma＠venture.com.sg 01 Jul '08

Hi, We are using flashrom to flash BIOS in Linux. But it can only successfully read flash and save into file, can not write ROM file into flash. Error information --- Segmentation fault. OS --- Fedora6 with kernel 2.6.18 Chipset --- Intel ICH6-M Flash chip --- SST49LF008A Flashrom version --- It is extracted from coreboot-v2-3401.tar.bz2. My operation step are, 1. cd flashrom 2. make 3. Read flash and save into myBIOS.bin (./flashrom -r myBIOS.bin). Result is OK 4. Write myBIOS.bin into flash (./flashrom -wv myBIOS.bin). Result: Segmentation fault. Could you please provide us some comments or proposals on the problem? Thanks a lot.

Intel rumers spreading??
by Joseph Smith 01 Jul '08

Maybe it is just me, but it seems like lately there have been a lot of posts to the mailing list about, coreboot not supporting ANY Intel chipsets/cpu's. Is there rumors spreading around the mill??? If so we need to nip this in the bud, this is probably discouraging people that want to get involved with coreboot. -- Thanks, Joseph Smith Set-Top-Linux www.settoplinux.org

OpenExpo Zürich September 24-25 2008

More good news: We have been accepted as exhibitors at OpenExpo in Zürich! We did not get a huge booth, but we should still have enough space to show off a few boards. So far me and Carl-Daniel are going, but it would of course be fun if even more people could make it there. :) We're also a Hackontest candidate - the contest takes place at the Expo. //Peter

Patch attached. The name is also rather unfortunate, since it is used for board enable rather than chip probing, but that is for later. //Peter
