Intel Clearwater motherboard.

[Yaroslav Klyukin]

Hello everybody!
I have just subscribed to this mailing list.
I am new to linuxbios and this project seems to have good prospectives.

I have just built romimage for Intel Clearwater motherboard and tried to
flash it into the bios, but  Intel flash utility (phlash) refused to do 
that.
I failed to find any procedure or documentation for this motherboard on 
how to make this motherboard work with linuxbios.
All i have right now is sources, which i have been examining during the 
past several days. They seem to compile ok, so i want to flash at this 
point.
I know that common practice is to use disk on chip, but this motherboard 
has zif flash socket instead of dip one.

Please, tell me how to flash romimage into flash.

Thank you in advance.

Greetings,

I am working on a versatile flash tool for this board. For now, the util
in util/flash_and_burn can do it.

G'day,
sjames

Thank you for response.

I have tried it already, but it said "EEPROM not found"
Eeprom type is: Intel N82802AC8 A2210847 (c)'96'98
It is 8Mbit flash.

Is there any other way to do it?

we'll need to upgrade the flash tool for this part. I don't have one 
however, so you're going to have to tell me that parts that matter.
