: ASUS P2-M2A690G Barebone

[Cirdec AREVIR]

Hi,

I'm trying to try Coreboot on this barebone that seems to be like the
M2A-VM motherboard but flashrom can't do nothing with the flash chip :

Calibrating delay loop... OK.
No coreboot table found.
Found chipset "ATI(AMD) SB600", enabling flash write... OK.
No EEPROM/flash device found.
If you know which flash chip you have, and if this version of flashrom
supports a similar flash chip, you can try to force read your chip. Run:
flashrom -f -r -c similar_supported_flash_chip filename

The flash chip is an EON-EN25F80, after visual checking ;-)

So, I bring in attachment some useful data, the motherboard is recognized
as M2R68L, a standard AMD690G motherboard

Any idea ?

Thx.

Regards

Cedric.

flashrom -V output could be helpful.

Have you tried with the flashrom patch mentioned here:

http://www.coreboot.org/ASUS_M2A-VM

?

Thanks,

It is needed for LPC flash, the EON chip is SPI and might work just
with the simple patch I sent earlier.

Excellent. That means the board in this barebone must be (slightly) different
from the m2a-vm.

Thanks,
