Board ASUS M2V-MX_SE: No EEPROM/flash device found when running flashrom in Windows XP

[Fengwei Zhang]

All,

I am trying to flash Coreboot BIOS in Windows XP SP3 environment. but I got No EEPROM/flash device found when running flashrom.exe.

I have been successfully flashed BIOS in CentOS environment on the same machine by running ./flashrom -w coreboot.rom.

Does anyone know why I get this error message?

Regards,
Fengwei

I believe flashrom may only support external flashers when running on
Windows. This is because it is much more difficult to access the
on-board flash chip in Windows than in Linux.

Maybe you can boot a Linux live-CD, or use that CentOS environment,
to flash again?

Kind regards
