Author: stefanct Date: Sat Aug 6 14:45:21 2011 New Revision: 1405 URL: http://flashrom.org/trac/flashrom/changeset/1405 Log: Clear byte 0x92 of the LPC bridge for all CK804 (and MCP51) chipsets The OEM BIOS on the EPoX EP-8PA7I and a number of other boards clear byte 0x92 in the LPC bridge configuration space. Do the same for all CK804 chips, assuming this to be some sort of chipset-generic write-enable. Currently the same chipset enable is used for MCP51 (nForce 430). There have been reports of successful writes with its variations (e.g. A8N-LA (Nagami-GL8E)), but they were not tagged as OK. Due to the new "unsupported chipset"-message we will get success reports in the case this patch does not break anything on the MCP51-based boards.

A8M2N-LA flash fail fail

Hello all, I have just tried to flash my BIOS using the flashrom, and I have ran into the following situation: lucifer@lucifer-desktop:~/Letöltések/flashrom-0.9.4$ sudo ./flashrom -w /tmp/sp35111/3.10 flashrom v0.9.4-r1395 on Linux 2.6.35-28-generic (i686), built with libpci 3.1.7, GCC 4.4.5, little endian flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chipset "NVIDIA MCP51". This chipset is marked as untested. If you are using an up-to-date version of flashrom please email a report to flashrom(a)flashrom.org including a verbose (-V) log. Thank you! Enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI. Found PMC flash chip "Pm49FL004" (512 kB, LPC, FWH) at physical address 0xfff80000. Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling coreboot-related checks. Reading old flash chip contents... done. Erasing and writing flash chip... ERASE FAILED at 0x00000000! Expected=0xff, Read=0x23, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x00000fff: 0xfec ERASE FAILED! Reading current flash chip contents... done. ERASE FAILED at 0x00000000!

Writing to the flash chip apparently didn't do anything. This means we have to add special support for your board, programmer or flash chip. Please report this on IRC at irc.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or mail flashrom(a)flashrom.org! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You may now reboot or simply leave the machine running.
