Re: [coreboot] Coreboot on an Acer Aspire 3680?

Stefan: flashrom -r gives me this:

Calibrating delay loop... OK.
No coreboot table found.
Found chipset "Intel ICH7M", 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

Note: flashrom can never write when the flash chip isn't found automatically.

Please try
flashrom -V
The full output of that command hat should give us a chance to debug
your problem.

Thanks, output is attached.

Also, for whatever it's worth, superiotool says I have an NSC PC87591x
SuperIO chip (dump not available).

No help I'm afraid.

There may be a hardware signal disabling writes to the flash chip, in
which case I think you'll have to bring out the soldering iron.

Could you take the system apart and identify the flash chip visually?
