#131: New flashrom motherboard support ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: anonymous | Owner: somebody Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: trivial | Milestone: Going mainstream Component: flashrom | Version: v2 Keywords: flashrom asus | Dependencies: Patchstatus: there is no patch | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Did not know where I should put this but the bugtracker seemed like the right place.
I tried flashrom and it could not detect my chip on my ASUS P5ND2-SLI Deluxe motherboard. The board has a SST49LF004B flash chip and after enforcing the right chip flashrom seems to work fine.
{{{ # ./flashrom -V -f -r -c SST49LF004A/B test Calibrating delay loop... 796M loops per second, 100 myus = 201 us. OK. No coreboot table found. WARNING: No chipset found.

This should probably apply to the P5ND-SLI board, too.
What do you need from me for adding autodetection of this board/chip?
