Hello Myles,

Thanks for your quick answer.
Here is my command line that i typed : ./flashrom -r test
Here is what ./flashrom -r test -V gives :
Calibrating Delay loop... 797M loops per second, 100 myus = 201 us, OK.
Can't mmap memory using /dev/mem : Invalid Argument.

That's for it.
The version of flashrom is  the r3708.

From the comment in flashrom.c, it looks like flashrom is trying to allocate memory smaller than a page, and failing.  It would be helpful if you posted your command line and the complete output.  Probably the output of ./flashrom –V too.

 

Thanks,

Myles

Hello everyone,
