Our plans are to go through our current product listings and see if we can get FlashROM to work on them. We want to be able to add something other than AMI, Award or Phoenix as a flash utility for our customers. We have been pleased with what the FlashROM utility does and we are working on further validation with this particular utility. Thanks again for your reply and we will continue to stay in touch as new updates are made available.

If a specific mainboard was tested and is working, please send a mail containing the mainboard and the flash chip you used, and what you tested on that mainboard+flash combination (verify, read, erase, write) to either coreboot(a)coreboot.rom or flashrom(a)coreboot.rom. Then we can update the web pages accordingly. In case you wish to have new, currently unsupported mainboards supported by flashrom, let us know here, too. I think we can help. Best regards, Stefan Reinauer joelr(a)tyan.com wrote: To Whomever it may concern: We would like to update the motherboard listings that support the FlashROM software. We have additional motherboards that we would like to have listed but we need clarification on the process of how to go about this. We have verified that the FlashROM does work in a 32-bit and 64-bit linux environment. We have also made sure that it will verify, read, erase and write a bios chip successfully. Please let us know what we need to update the current support listings on the coreboot.org site.

[LinuxBIOS] Add initial support for intel i855gme northbridge
by Jon Dufresne 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Add initial support for i855gme. This is a work in progress and I don't expect it to work on all boards, or even any besides mine. This is based heavily on i855pm. Signed off by Jon Dufresne <jon.dufresne(a)gmail.com>

#102: flashrom: coreboot ROM image file identification heuristic is broken

#102: flashrom: coreboot ROM image file identification heuristic is broken -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: stuge | Owner: somebody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: flashrom v1.0 Component: flashrom | Version: Keywords: rom image heuristic | Dependencies: Patchstatus: patch needs work | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Non-coreboot ROM images are incorrectly identified as coreboot images, and arbitrary data is used in flashrom code. The heuristic is far too simplistic, we need a proper signature in all coreboot images. The suggested fix is to add a LAR header to the ROM image, I like that too. When an image is incorrectly identified, junk data used by flashrom typically causes flashrom to segfault. -- Ticket URL: <http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/ticket/102> coreboot <http://www.coreboot.org/>

[LinuxBIOS] A8N5X port
by Robert Millan 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

This patch includes config files for the asus/a8n5x port. It is the same as asus/a8n_e with a different pnp layout, so I used #include's whenever possible. System boots and is usable with usb keyboard. works: - serial port - vga (old pci card) - memtest86+ succeeds, but only with Rudolf's patch for unbuffered dimms in K8. Otherwise you get spurious memory corruption. - ide disk - usb doesn't: - ps/2 keyboard - onboard ethernet - vga pci-e card (??) - any other pci card I tried wasn't tested: - sata - game port - onboard audio (not supported by alsa anyway) - ps/2 mouse -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak? (as seen on /.)
