Hi,
I'm thinking about porting coreboot to a FM2A88X Extreme4+ board. This board has a DIP8 flash with a socket and I wondered what would be the best way to do an efficient development cycle. Ideally, I suppose that the best option would be to use a clip test and a CH341A, but all the clips that I found are SOIC/SOP. Should I buy a SOIC clip and an adapter from SOIC to DIP? I've seen those adapters, but I'm not sure if they will fit well in the mobo DIP8 socket.
Aside from the mechanical question, I'd appreciate any advice about the safety of externally programming the board. I don't have the schematics and I wonder if there could be any risk of damaging the board.
Cheers.
