Stefan,

 

Here is a list of products we have tested thus far and have found will work just fine with FlashROM

Our process is still ongoing so we will have new updates periodically to help include new FlashROM versions as well as new Tyan motherboards to this listing.

 

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.

 

 

Dear Joel Robertson,

thank you very much for your interest in coreboot and flashrom!

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@coreboot.rom or flashrom@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

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.

 

Thanks,
