[LinuxBIOS] 1MB ROM for GA-M57SLI-S4 (PLCC32)?

[Andreas B. Mundt]

Hi all,

I've got a Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 board (PLCC32 version) with LB running
and would like to use a larger BIOS ROM to use LAB etc.. Currently my
512KB ROM chip is (from flashrom):

SST49LF040B found at physical address 0xfff80000.
Flash part is SST49LF040B (512 KB).

Can I use a larger chip and if yes which one? Any experience appreciated.

Thanks,

Andi

Which means you have  LPC ROM(s), PLCC socket.

Consequently, all you need to watch out for is a flash chip with LPC protocol, 
that is supported by flashrom, ideally.

I have an SST49LF080A sitting in the (other) socket, working fine, but I guess 
any LPC chip will do.
