Author: stefanct Date: Thu Feb 16 00:40:23 2012 New Revision: 1493 URL: http://flashrom.org/trac/flashrom/changeset/1493 Log: Warn of one-time programmable (OTP) memory Some flash chips contain OTP memory that we cannot read or write (yet). This prohibits us from cloning them, hence warn the user if we detect it. Not all variations of the tagged chips contain OTP memory. They are often only enabled on request or have there own ordering numbers. There is usually no way to distinguish them. Because this is a supposedly seldomly used feature the warning is shown in with dbg verbosity. The manpage is extended to describe the backgrounds a bit. This patch is based on the idea and code of Daniel Lenski.

Re: [flashrom] successful BIOS flash report

Hello Stefan. Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. As requested, please find below the output of actual writing of the BIOS and below that the output of "flashrom -V". The link to the mainboard: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5KV/ The link to the mainboard manual: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket775/P5K-V/e3269_p5k-v_manual.zip I don't know the exact revision of the board. The board was purchased in Oct 2007. Kind regards.

Re: [flashrom] [PATCH] Manpage improvements.

I thought flashrom implemented its own dmi-calls since 0.9.4, but trying Idwer's DOS-port (rev1452) and not having DMIDECOD.EXE (yep, 8.3 naming, sorry) all I end up with in VMware/FreeDOS is a "hey can't identify anything, so this must be a laptop..if not, please override". Overriding still produces the same 'please override' output followed by a message that you're overriding, and continues. Ofcourse no single emulation platform seems to have a flashrom anyway, so stuff happily aborts. I guess flashrom could at least continue to try reading without needing an override. Erasing and writing ofcourse do require overrides if anything is uncertain in advance.

[PATCH] Manpage improvements.
by Stefan Tauner 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

The sections describing the various options of the internal and dummy programmers have grown out of proportions. This patch adds some headlines to devide the unrelated topics a bit (with .TP commands). The previous indented paragraphs for the various programmers were transformed to subsections (.SS). Also, rephrase the documention related to laptops completely to make it less redundant and more informative. Document the laptop=this_is_not_a_laptop internal programmer parameter Change the contact info in the bugs section by removing the trac reference and adding IRC (and the pastebin) instead. Remove some superfluous white space.

It looks like your board already has the lspci output provided by someone else, and the flashrom -Vw output you put on paste.flashrom.org is good enough. The "readout.rom" part, along with the rest of that description, is actually for people who we'll need to do some reverse engineering for in order to support flashing. Since your board works, you don't need to upload it. If you like you can paste a suprtiotool output, but again, since flashing works, it is not necessary. Thanks, Josh

Try all of these: unzip cabextract unshield 7za Then find the file with an appropriate size. It will be the exact number of bytes as the backup you have made. Then, recent versions of flashrom automatically verify after writing so you do not need a little v. A big V would be nice for debugging any issues that occur. Now, make sure that you have time (at least a day, maybe more) to leave the machine running in case the flash fails. If it does fail, it is likely some software protection that can be disabled with some investigation (some reverse engineering by a developer, a patch being written, applied by you and a new flashrom being compiled by you). Also keep in mind that all flash updates have some amount of risk. So the command you'll want to run is: # flashrom -Vw $newfile where $newfile is the image you find after uncompressing/extracting the .exe provided by the bios vendor. Good luck (and please send success/failure reports to this list), Josh

No: 1) that file isn't a BIOS file and 2) the filesize won't match the chip's size. Unzip that .exe file and write "K7V330D.BIN" instead.
