I hope this isn't too silly of a question, but it is the first time I've
used this program. I have an acer t180, which is on the supported hardware
list. The link to the board describes a socket 772 and the board I have has
an AM2 socket board. I tried using the .bin supplied from the website. I
haven't tried using the one from the vendor. But the difference in socket
made me nervous. Thank you for your time and your awesome work.

Hi all,
I have encountered unstable failed when rewrite M25P128 via raspberry
pi, sometimes cannot read out chip id(0x00), sometimes failed @ erase/write
process, at beginning I'm confused because another chip(MX25L128) can work
fine on the same platform, I found similar issue at maillist(attached
below), but in my scenario the unconnected pin is HOLD(low is enable),
after connected HOLD pin to VCC(3.3Volt), M25P128 can work fine.

Well, you need to make it compile with the version you want to use
As you can see from the patch, it is against flashrom r1846. But it
should not be hard to port it to the current version.

The patched flashrom should still work with older firmwares but also
the currently newest ones AFAIK. At least I am not aware of any
additional changes required.

Hi guys,
sorry to disturb you.
Based on instructions I saw here:
http://flashrom.org/Windows
I installed MinGW32 on my Windows XP machine in order to try to compile the latest flashrom release which I need.
Sadly I'm unable to compile anything because I get the errors as follow:
**************************************************************************************
$ make
Files don't seem to be under version control. Replacing all version templates wi
th 0.9.8-r1888.
Package libftdi was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libftdi.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libftdi' found
Package libusb was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libusb.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

not found.
Please install libusb-0.1 headers or libusb-compat headers.
See README for more information.
make: *** [hwlibs] Error 1
**************************************************************************************
A weird thing is that I had to manually install the pkg-config package, that isn't listed in the instructions.
Anyway I'm pretty sure I have all the files in the right places and I guess my fault is due the fact I'm not able to figure how and where edit the PKG_CONFIG_PATH that indeed I haven't in nowhere.
I wonder where I can see an example of PKG_CONFIG_PATH, any suggestions?
Thanks.
I need compile flashrom for Bus Pirate, so is there any mandatory flag that have to be set?
Honestly I didn't know it was so complicated to compile for Windows, by read of the instructions it seemed to me pretty easy, but it isn't.
Is perhaps there any documentations that explain clearly how do the job?
I think that a description of the folders and the files inside them can be enough in order to understand, sadly I have seen nothing like that.
Last but not least.
Maybe I'm wrong, though seems to me that the way as MinGW is installed allows to move the installation easily, almost like an portable application.
Am I wrong?
If I'm not wrong this means that should be possible achieve a running environment if someone would provide one.
Anyway I'm pretty sure that being be able to see a working installation would help to settle the matter.
Thanks for reading!
Regards,
~Topolinux

Yes, you do need an unmerged patch:

Hi,
I'm having a problem getting my dediprog sf100 working with flashrom. I've
tried flashrom building versions 0.9.6, 0.9.7, 0.9.8 with the
'configure_dediprog' flag and can see dediprog listed as programmer option.
However when I go to read a chip, flashrom detects the correct dediprog
firmware (5.5.02) but finds " unknown flash chip of 0kb.
I can use the same setup with the windows dediprog sw and it can read and
write the chip fine. I can also use a buspirate with flashrom and the same
chip and it can read and write fine ( but really slowly).
My question is if there is a specific flashrom version and patch I need to
use my dediprog with flashrom? Is there something else I may be doing wrong
here?
Thanks!
Hey Alex,
No worries, the board is functioning, I have been able to update BIOS
with the vendor's DOS based utility.
Usually when I need to update a BIOS on a board which is not in the
flashrom supported list I try out the flashing with flashrom first, to
be able to send an unsuccess/success report.

Hi,
There might be a solution if you want to update to the latest firmware. In
section 2.1.4 of the board manual you have an option to recover bios after
a failed update or corruption. You need an usb stick and the bios file
renamed per instructions in the manual. You need to put that file on the
usb and insert the usb prior to powering the PC. They do not specify this
in the manual for this board but in manuals for similar boards, also from
Asus, they uncover it.
Try this last thing even if the board doesn't POST. I had success in the
past with this method.
Good luck
Alex.
