Flashing libreboot on x200 using a Shikra
by matcor＠riseup.net April 28, 2015

April 28, 2015

Hi, I'm trying to flash libreboot to my x200 using a Shikra. When it gets to the "Erasing and writing flash chip" part, it seems to hang, but top shows that flashrom is still using a lot of the CPU. I left it for over 3 hours and it doesn't get any further than my logfile below. Would anyone be able to shed some light as to what might be going on here? Thanks. command: flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type=232H -c "MX25L6405D" -w x200_8mb_usqwerty_vesafb.rom -V 2>&1 | tee logfile output: flashrom v0.9.8-r1889 on Linux 3.17.4-301.fc21.x86_64 (x86_64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org flashrom was built with libpci 3.3.0, GCC 4.9.2 20150212 (Red Hat 4.9.2-6), little endian Command line (7 args): flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type=232H -c MX25L6405D -w x200_8mb_usqwerty_vesafb.rom -V Calibrating delay loop...

Gigabyte H55M-S2H with 2 Macronix MX25L6465EM2I flash chips
by Александр Трубицын April 21, 2015

April 21, 2015

Hello! I have Gigabyte H55M-S2H motherboard with 2 MX25L6465EM2I SPI flash chips, but now flashrom asks me to choose from 3 different chips: Multiple flash chip definitions match the detected chip(s): "MX25L6405(D)", "MX25L6406E/MX25L6436E", "MX25L6445E/MX25L6473E" Please specify which chip definition to use with the -c <chipname> option. I find chip datasheet where: http://www.datasheetarchive.com/dl/Datasheets-IS78/DSAH00369299.pdf In the table 6 (ID Definitions) of this datasheet we can see RDID=0x2017 1. Is it possible to use one of supposed chip or a new one? 2. Can you add comment about MX25L6465 in the flashchips.h after MX25L6405 or new definition in flashchips.c ? 3. Is it possible to determine flash chip by RDID and RES (Read Electronic Signature)? -- Best regards Alexander.V Trubitsyn

Hi Carl, I found two applications for flashing ati cards. One it's executed under win environment and the other it's flashrom.exe and it works under DOS. Anyway the problem had been solved and i just wanted to know if flashrom has a native support for flashing video cards. Thank you very much for your kindness!

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 the manpage and 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.

Hi Alex, there is another tool called ati flashrom 2.40 which is unrelated to flashrom.org. Maybe the tool you're talking about is ati flashrom, not flashrom.org flashrom with video card patches.
