W836xx: HP Mini 110-3700: flashrom -V
by Olivier Langlois 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

Hi, I am following the instruction found in the flashrom -V output. I want to attempt replacing the evil RSA signed Insyde BIOS that stops me from installing PCIe Mini cards of my choice. I do not fully understand yet all the output of flashrom and why the flash chip autodetection is limited to a very small subset of the supported chips but I have taken a look on the motherboard and I have spotted a Winbond W25Q16 chip on it. I have started to modify inteltool and msrtool in order to support my processor (Intel Atom N455). I will probably join your dev mailing list to offer my patches when they are ready and also ask advices for my coreboot project. Thank you,

USB 3 PCI Card support (request to add device)
by Philipp Post 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Good day, following configuration: - USB 3 PCI (not PCI-Express) card with RENESAS uPD720200A(Revision 4) USB chip and ATMEL AT25F512B (ATMEL 1138, 25F512B, SSH) rom chip in - IBM NetVista 8305 Desktop PC - built year 2003 The issue with the card is that it needs a flash rom update to work with Windows Vista and up, otherwise the device does not work at all in these OS ("device cannot start"). Windows XP with Renesas drivers and Linux Ubuntu 11.3 out of the box works fine. RENESAS has a rom update for the chip and a flash update tool which however does not work with PCI cards, but just chips soldered to mainboards. At least this seems to me the reason why it does not work. Chip is recognized but the RENESAS tool says "Can not load / access firmware". The tool has the option to change the device / vendor id as well via .ini file. The card used is the only PCI USB 3 card on the market and basically works very well when it works - with max PCI speed of course, which means approx. double speed of USB 2. The card exists in hardware version 1 (RENESAS chip uPD720200A) and 2 (RENESAS chip uPD720202). I do just have access to hardware version 1. The name of the manufacturer behind the card is unknown to me, but it could be an ADDONICS product. I do not have a technical drawing of the card and I fear I can not obtain one but I do have the card itself. My question: would it be possible to incorporate this card into flashrom? Would be great if someone could do it as I do not have the necessary skills to do it myself. In case you need further information, please let me know.

Appreciate for developing HM65 BIOS R\W tool SW
by 朱智会 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Dear Sir/Madam This is Jake zhu and David Du from China Lotsynergy, our company is an IPC based system integrated provider located in Guangzhou, China. To meet our customer’s requirement of providing a BIOS R\W tool (OS: FC14 Core Ver. 2. 6.35.6--45.fc14.i686 (i686)), we tried to seek proper tool in internet and found FlashRom at the first time. We downloaded FlashRom Ver L: v0.9.4-r1455 and used following command #flashrom -r sysbios.bin, but fail with below error info: After double check the supported chipset list in website, we found the South Bridge Chipset HM65 is not supported; however BIOS Flash Chip (W25Q32) is supported (see below). So write to you for help to develop a BIOS R\W tools SW (/OS: FC14 Core Ver. 2.6.35.6--45.fc14.i686 (i686), and below the necessary info for your reference, due to tight schedule of project, we do appreciate for your great help to develop the mentioned tools SW within next week. South Bridge Chipset: HM65 (Inter) BIOS Flash Chip: W25Q32BV (Specification as attached) // Main board provider claim this SPI Flash connect to HM65 directly Super I/O: IT8782 (ITE) Thanks for your great help again!

As suggested by the program, since the chip i was flashing was not recognized, i'm sending the log of a successful read, erase and write of the flash chip, so that it can be marked as "working" in the wiki / source code. Cheers!

Adaptec AHA-2940UW
by Marcos Felipe Rasia de Mello 19 Jan '13

19 Jan '13

Hi, I have here an Adaptec AHA-2940UW. Its firmware chip (OTP ROM AT27C512R) was soldered, but now I put a socket DIP-32 (PCB is prepared to 32-pin chips). Apparently flashrom does not have any support for this card. If you need any testing please let me know. To replace the OTP ROM I have EPROMs TMS27C512 (do not know if they can be reprogrammed in place -- I have the UV eraser) and lots of flash chips AT29C010A (128KiB). No 64KiB flash chip :-( Marcos
