The BIOS chip is soldered.
It looks like J11 may also have the LPC bus signals.
Could be.
I assumed LVDS on http://www.nottoxic.com/wapcc/dectop/wiki/doku.php?id=hardware:dectop:erweit... - I'll have to check e.g. the voltage levels on pins 8/18 (5 or 3.3V) and 19/20 (12 V). Is there a typical default pinout for LPC?
http://www.artecgroup.com/downloads/task,doc_download/gid,5/Itemid,33/ could use anything.
I've seen other applications which used 20 pin connectors for GPIO purposes
If the boot flash selector ball is also on J11 you could use Artec's dongle or just another LPC flash chip to work on coreboot rather than having to desolder the existing chip.
I know that the BIOS can be programmed easily onboard since there's a Windows software around to reprogram it.
Is there any kind of de-assembler within coreboot that would help to find out what the current BIOS versions do?
Thanks, Martin
