Is anyone working on this?
Yes, I'll post a patch soonish.
I'm more than ready to flash my secondary computer with the same board but another bios and a different firmware chip . The information posted before was generated from my primary computer (gemenon). I would like to skip that one for now until I know that the flash will work ok as It's very tight in that case with all the water-cooling and cables in case I need to swap chips.
I'm not sure I got that right -- I'm currently preparing a patch for your Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D.
Whether or not you flash your chip in that board, or in another supported board (by flashrom), or in some external programmer doesn't matter; you'll have to insert the flashed chip with coreboot into the Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D either way, though.
The firmware chip of the secondary computer (leonis) is a
PMC Flash MGN59 0312 Pm49FL004T-33JC
Seems to be fully supported by flashrom according to the main site.
The chip itself, yes. This is not sufficient though, there could be mainboard-specific hacking required for flashrom to work, and you cannot find out unless you try writing an image on a chip _in_ that board.
IMPORTANT: Only do that with an _empty_ or otherwise unused ROM chip, as this may "break" your chip if it does _not_ work properly.
