Today I updated the BIOS of my EliteGroup ECS GF8200A motherboard.
The vendor tool did not work on FreeDOS for me, and I don't have
Windows, so I had to try updating it from Linux.
This motherboard was not officially supported by flashrom, and the -V
output is attached.
Then I tried updating the ROM, running:
flashrom 78NAA512.ROM
(but, before that, I did a backup of the old firmware)
However, at the verification stage, it failed. The error message is
also attached. (sorry, but I didn't run it with -V)
Following help from carldani and twice11, I tried flashing again the
new firmware. This time it worked and gave me no errors. The output is
also attached.
I know there is very little information in the attached files, but I
still hope they can be helpful for the project.
Thank you, carldani and twice11 for helping me on IRC, and thank you
for this project!
