[PATCH] Flush stdout after each message
by Ed Swierk 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

Currently messages like "Writing flash chip..." that don't end with a newline are buffered until the operation is complete, unless the particular write function generates status output in the meantime. Flushing stdout after each message ensures that the message appears immediately.

[PATCH] Support for K7S41GX.
by Paweł Różański 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

Hello. During discussion on IRC channel found out, that K7S41GX uses the same bios chip and the same super I/O chip as K7S41. Tested reading, writing and verification, all worked fine. Signed-off-by: Pawel Rozanski <rozie(a)poczta.onet.pl> BTW for K7S41 match string is "^K7S41 $", probably should be "^K7S41$", but cannot test it. Regards, Pawel Rozanski

Could you limit status printing to "status != > 0x80", as this is "ready, no error bits"? > That's what the 82802ab and sharp lhf00l04 do, too. So if you think the behavior should be changed, you should change it in all three places. Stefan

Success flashing Supermicro X7SPA-HF
by Jochen Schulz 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks and report that I just successfully flashed the BIOS of my brand-new mainboard Supermicro X7SPA-HF¹ using flashrom. After wasting a whole evening trying to make a 4MB BIOS image fit onto a (virtual) floppy, I stumbled upon flashrom again and, without much thought, decided to give it a try. I tried reading the current BIOS first and after that worked I flashed the file X7SPA0.526 from the current zip download. I ignored the message that erasing is untested and another one that suggested that a single block or something like that couldn't be eraed. After five minutes of waiting I became a little bit nervous, but two or three minutes later flashrom was finished and I could reboot successfully. So, thanks again, flashrom saved my day. If you need any further information for your documentation, please Cc me as I am not subscribed.

Write on an ASUS M4A78-EM

Hi list. Just flashed my ASUS M4A78-EM using flashrom (Ubuntu packed version 0.9.1+r946-1ubuntu1, with latest rev. 2101 ROM from ASUS), and everything went fine. Just thought I'd send this note since the motherboard isn't listed in the wiki yet. Reading the old image from chip also worked fine. -- Jani
