Aspire One

Hi, In the Laptop table the Aspire one is listed as BAD But as there are so many different aspire one models i wonder if ALL Aspire one models are BAD In my case i have the ZG5 model also known as AOA110 (512MB) and AOA150 (1GB) These models have Winbond W25x80 EEPROMS (these are listed as supported, all OK I wonder what's the safest way to try? Also the link regarding the Aspire One in the Laptop table points to the coreboot mailing list, but in the entire post there is NO mention of the aspire one. Eventually i could de-solder the chip and try to flash it in an external programmer. I have 3 of these Acers that could use a fresh BIOS. (hopefully the latest one allows to boot from SD) Most Aspire One netbooks have BIOS issues and having a tool that doesn't require Microsoft would be very welcome. In software there is a mention of SST2400 and there is no mention of Winbond, but on the mainboard there is a Winbond 25x80 chip. Best, Wilfried

I am able to update the BIOS region too using Nico's patches. Updating the entire flash is still an issue - timing out in ME region. Hopefully Intel could help address it. Many thanks to Nico and Ed!

There is an aspire one listed as not suported, but it does not sat what exact type aspire one it is. I have the AOA110, also knowns as AOA150 with more RAM and ZG5. hwinfo told me that it uses an SST2400 chip. But that's as far as my skills get. I'll try FreeDOS route Best, Wilfried

How do i know if it is safe to try this tool to flash a Aspire One AOA 110?
by scrooyahoo＠riseup.net 03 Aug '16

Dear flashrom crew, I downloaded the latest BIOS for aspire one AOA 110 In case it helps here are the links https://acer--uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6054/~/updating-the-b… http://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/BIOS/BIOS/BIOS_Acer_3310_A_AOA110%2… Looks like the .fd file is the binary. But how do i know if this will work? Just trying to save some hardware from the scrapheap. So the risk is low, but it would be a shame if i brick this thing. Kind regards, Wilfried

Broadwell-DE SoC

Hello, Has anybody tried flashrom on Broadwell-DE SoC? Intel has upstreamed coreboot support. But we are having trouble with flashrom. The ME region does not seem to be accessible. We cannot read the entire flash (fails when reading ME) even though we enabled all reads in Master Access Section in FITC. We also tried to set FDO, it did not help either. We would like to at least be able to update the BIOS region. However, flashrom performs a full read prior to doing partial write. Below is the log using flashrom trunk. Thanks!

Re: [flashrom] Writing to a specific Flash region with Layout approach

Hello David, Thanks for commands usage . For the command: dd if=test2.bin of=test.bin bs=1 seek=$((0x1a1e0)) conv=notrunc It is subtle when you are mentioning bs=1, If we donot specify bs, it will take a default value of 512 I suppose, then seek will be (0x1a1e0)*512 which will skip lot of bytes from the beginning of the file. So, we cannot use a layout file to write to a specific region.
