Hello CB Community- 

I recently aquired a BCM MX57QM board via ebay and bricked it trying to update some microcodes.  The board has an SPI header, so I was going to pick up a programmer to try again, or restore to a supported ROM, and thought that I might as well see if a coreboot build may work.

The board is a Socket G1 board with a QM57 chipset, and it was running fine with an i7 620M before I bricked it adding ucode for an i7 920XM.   The BIOS looks to be a a Winbond 25Q64BVSIG 25/SPI (flashed with AMI).  The Super IO is IT8783F.

Tangentially, any tips on what programmer/cables to use would also be appreciated. 

Thanks in advance for any help.
