Quoting Peter Stuge peter@stuge.se:
super_io-pad61 -> spi_chip-pad1 (nCS)
Is this a 0 ohm connection?
I think so.. (at least my multimeter in bip-bip mode shouts loud when I connect the 2 pads ;-) => that means <5ohms in general..)
I have a little question : does someone have a more up-to-date version of the DS of the it8716 chip? It seems to me that the version that can be currently downloaded on the ite website doesn't match at all the chip revision used on gigabyte mobo.. (regarding the electrical interface at least..)
I can't find any other documentation than that either.
The M57SLI board with SOIC flash has a version C 8716, I guess they've changed the pinout.

This seems a little bit strange for me : the pinout of the C version seems to replace a floppy disk interface with the spi interface.. When one think that FD is considered "antiquated peripheral" and spi a "new paradigm" for bios storage, that would mean that ver. C is "more modern" that ver. D in its design?!..
