You need to add one entry on flash_enable matrix.
Some guys already ported the C51 one year ago, but it need to call NVMM binary code. And need mcp51_early_setup_car.c to replace it.

Hi all,
On Thursday, Oct 12, 2006, Uwe Hermann said:
I'd really, really like to see a bunch of popular, cheap, mainstream boards supported out of the box. IMHO this is really essential to get more developers on board.
Looking at a few random shops here in Germany, it seems that the most popular brands are Asus, ASRock, MSI, Gigabyte for mainbaords in the price range of 40-80 Euros.
So; we've acquired a couple of machines based on an Asus A8N-VM CSM board (http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=15&l3=210&model=766&a... u=1), with an Opteron 150. Uwe, this board costs $80 at Newegg so I guess it falls into your cheap & common category.
This is the lspci output:

The intel ethernet controllers are plug in cards.
The SuperIO chip is - according to the URL pasted above - an Nvidia nforce 430MCP. The actual chip on the mainboard reads:
Nvidia P5080239 0534A2 MCP51-N-A2 GH 9940.1
The bios rom is an SST 49LF0048.
I tried flashrom. No dice:

This is with the SST part switched in (biossavior). Similar problem with the biossavior set to RD1:

Is there any hope for this board? If so; what should I try next?
Thanks, Ward.

Wait, I think this is actually (just) the southbridge, the Super I/O is probably another chip. Please check this screenshot: http://www.computerbase.de/bild/article/517/8/
The chip in the lower-right corner should be the Super I/O, which is probably a Winbond W83627EHG-A. The manual for the mainboard seems to suggest the same, see screenshot on page 65 of this PDF: ftp://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket939/A8N-VMCSM/e2294_a8n-vm_csm.pdf
If this is the case, it's probably easy to get the Super I/O working. According to http://www.winbond.com/e-winbondhtm/partner/_Computer_SIO_LPCSIO4DS.htm the W83627EHG is compatible with the W83627HG which is in turn compatible with the W83627HF, which is supported by LinuxBIOS :)
HTH, Uwe.

The winbond chip reads:

So, yes!

Do you have a pointer to that C51 code? I don't see anything in the tree.
Thanks, Ward.
