Donations, funding & t-shirts
by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

Hi, I have been asked repeatedly whether it is possible to donate to flashrom, fund development or buy t-shirts. Given that quite some of us travel to conferences to talk about flashrom, and others buy hardware to support it, and a few other things which need money, this seems to be a good idea. Opinions? Regards, Carl-Daniel -- Developer quote of the year: "We are juggling too many chainsaws and flaming arrows and tigers."

ERASE FAILED at 0x000100f7! Chances are *very* high that the chip is erase protected in a mainboard specific way, and nothing happened up to now. If you have a backup of your old BIOS created by flashrom -r, run "flashrom -v oldbios.bin". If it outputs "VERIFIED", you are safe to reboot (with your old BIOS). To have your mainboard supported by flashrom, please mail the output of 'flashrom -V', 'lspci -nnvvvxxx', 'superiotool -deV' (all commands as root), the exact name of your board (including revision, if there are multiple revisions), and a link to the official BIOS download to flashrom(a)flashrom.org , as this information is needed to find out how to disable the flash chip write protection on your board. Probably superiotool is not installed on your system. Get it from http://www.coreboot.org/Superiotool#Installation . One of our developers will take a look at your report and contact you once a patch is ready. This might take a few weeks because we're all volunteers and the TODO list is rather big.

Is the Gigabyte's GA-MA780G-UD3H supported? http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=30… flashrom returns this: # flashrom flashrom v0.9.1-r710 No coreboot table found. Found chipset "AMD SB700/SB710/SB750", enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: LPC,FWH,SPI. Calibrating delay loop... 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. running fedora 12 x86_64 flashrom-0.9.1-1.fc12.x86_64

ASUS-P5B BIOS flashrom success
by Patrice Levesque 07 Feb '10

07 Feb '10

Hi. I just flashed my ASUS-P5B BIOS using flashrom-v0.9.1-r710 and it smells like a success. First I read my previous BIOS (using flashrom -r) and compared to a downloaded stock BIOS; they were almost identical save a few vendor strings. Then flashed a new version (with flashrom -w), and reading it afterwards gave back the same data. Rebooted, and sure enough, the new BIOS version was printed. Attached is output from 'lspci -vvnn', 'dmidecode' and 'flashrom -V'. Please let me know if more data is needed to confirm the P5B compatibility with flashrom. Thanks for the good work, -- --====|====-- --------================|================-------- Patrice Levesque http://ptaff.ca/ fr.wayne(a)ptaff.ca --------================|================-------- --====|====-- --
