ECS P6IWP-Fe works
by Anders Jenbo 06 Jun '10

06 Jun '10

The ECS P6IWP-Fe can be added to the list of out of the box boards. Confirmed with two Intel 82802AB But it killed a PMC Pm49FL004 as well as another 512KB FWH chip (I think it was a SST). -Anders

[PATCH] Fix NetBSD linking
by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 05 Jun '10

05 Jun '10

NetBSD needs libpciutils (which is called libpci on pretty much every other platform and lives in the pciutils package) and apparently the libpciutils on NetBSD needs the NetBSD-native libpci (no equivalent on other platforms).

[PATCH] Turn on format string checking

gcc and clang can check format strings of printf-like functions. Since we don't support any other compilers right now, enable that extension unconditionally.

Here is the output of the requested information for the HP NetServer E 800, chipset not detected by flashrom. BIOS and other onboard firmware (SCSI controller/s): http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&… The name is the name of the machine, I don't know if the board has a different identifier. -- Andrew.

ASUS A8N-VM CSM results (write/erase failed)
by Ville Skyttä 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

Hello, I tried out flashrom on an ASUS A8N-VM CSM board: read seemed to go fine, but write failed. Information about the board: http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=JBqqlpj4cspbSa3s flashrom -V, lspci -nnvvxxx, superiotool -deV, flashrom -rV and flashrom -wV output is attached. The BIOS I was trying to write was the rev 1001 one available from the above ASUS page. Per agaran's and roysjosh's friendly help on IRC I checked the BIOS I read with -r with -v and it says VERIFIED so I suppose I'll go ahead and reboot later today. One note about the board testing Wiki page you may want to clarify: "To check if you can read the existing BIOS image from the chip, run flashrom -r backup.bin. Make sure that backup.bin contains a useful BIOS image. (Some chipsets will return 0xff for large areas of flash without any error messages.)" For a BIOS newbie like me, the remark in parenthesis doesn't tell much - is it a good or a bad sign if a chipset returns 0xff for large areas of flash without any error messages? (Bad, I guess ;))

[PATCH] Disallow the internal programmer on non-x86 for now
by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 04 Jun '10
