========================================================================
WARNING! You seem to be running flashrom on an unsupported laptop.
Laptops, notebooks and netbooks are difficult to support and we
recommend to use the vendor flashing utility. The embedded controller
(EC) in these machines often interacts badly with flashing.
See http://www.flashrom.org/Laptops for details.
If flash is shared with the EC, erase is guaranteed to brick your laptop
and write may brick your laptop.
Read and probe may irritate your EC and cause fan failure, backlight
failure and sudden poweroff.
You have been warned.

Hello,
There is a new patch for pony_spi, to add support for a new serial
programmer, produced by AJAWe.
For another hardware details:
http://www.ajawe.pl/ajawe0208.htmhttp://www.ajawe.pl/files/0208_R_DOK.pdf
BTW, the site and documentation is in Polish language, I believe, but
it is very easy to understand its schematics and what they sell...
All the best,
Virgil-Adrian.
Hi,
Please find attached the flashrom report. The program was not able to
detect the bios.

Hello!
I would like to upgrade my BIOS, but when I run flashrom it says "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!" so here I am ^^
Could you tell me if it's okay to use flashrom to upgrade my BIOS please?
Thanks
LH
Writing untested since I currently have no possibility to flash the
chip somewhere else if it should fail.
