That's for another patch, though. Acked-by: Uwe Hermann <uwe(a)hermann-uwe.de> Uwe. -- http://hermann-uwe.de | http://sigrok.org http://randomprojects.org | http://unmaintained-free-software.org

Intel SCH Poulsbo
by MONDON Daniel 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

Hi! Flashrom V0.9.4-r1395 results: Found chipset « Intel SCH Poulsbo” Found SST flash chip “SST49LF008A” (1024kB, FWM) @ 0xfff00000 I am under TCL (TinyCore Linux). Flashing Bios is OK, but erasing flash need many loops to erase all flash (from 0x1000 to 0xFF000 = 256 loops). But sometimes, it is ok in one time. What can I do to increase erasing speed (times) … or is there any known bug … perhaps increasing timeout … or ? Thanks Daniel.

It's also 50.0 % identical to file asusbios.bin' instead of something along the lines of 'verification failed, file is corrupt'. Above example would also require a way to reference a 2nd file to verify against. Let's say that 2nd file is an internet-downloaded original motherboard vendor's BIOS instead of a flashrom dumped file. After all, people might want to check if flashrom works correctly before writing anything. What better way than dump current bios, compare dumped file to bios but also compare to vendor bios file. All 3 should be (near-)identical.

I have marked the chipset as OK and added the ECS P4VXMS (V1.0A) to the list of supported boards. I will commit that later together with other small changes. -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner

My first question...
by Jorge Fernandez Monteagudo 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

Hi, I'm using flashrom to save the bios from my system to a file. I've seen an unexpected behaviour and I would like to know if it's ok. If I run: # flashrom --read bios_1st.bin # flashrom --read bios_2nd.bin comparing both files I can't find any difference, but If I reboot the system and then: # flashrom --read bios_3rd.bin I get differences with the previous one. I haven't enter in the bios or change anything... I was expecting no differences between them. Am I missing anything?
