Hi, I try to send mail to this address two days before, but I don't receive any reply. Maybe my mail was blocked, because I added attachment to it. I try to resend it (please see next mail) without attachment. Is there any change to use flashrom with my board to flash BIOS? Before flashroom a try to use "awdflash", but it must be used from FreeDos. I used various versions, but every hang and don't flash nothing to my BIOS Flash. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ondrej ondrej <pondrej3(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Oct 2, 2017 at 4:02 PM Subject: GA-C7V7VX-RH To: flashrom(a)flashrom.org Hi, I try to use flashrom with the board "GA-C7V7VX-RH" and I get error "Super I/O ID 0x8712 is not on the list of flash-capable controllers." This board have chipset "VIA VT8237(R)", bios flash chip "mx25l4005" and Super I/O chip "IT8712F-S". I attached to my mail debug of the command: flashrom -p internal -VVV -o ./flashrom.txt. Thank you for your support.

Fwd: Trying to flash a Winbond W25Q64.W on CH341A with 1.8V adapter
by Marius Schrecker 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

Hi, I recently bought two VMAC V1 Mini PC's with Winbond W25Q64FWSIG EFI chips. Updating the EFI information on teh devices using the normal software route is extremely flakey and I managed to corrupt the EFI on both boards, making them unbootable. I now have a Chinese CH341a ("Black Edition") usb programmer and a "piggy-back" 1.8v adapter and can connect to the Winbond chip using a test clip. I installed flashrom from the debian package V0.99 and can do a: Initially, I thought I had problems getting the clip properly seated, but no matter how much I clean the contacts and re-seat the clip, if I do a: #flashrom -p ch341a_spi -V I get (randomly): Found Winbond flash chip "unknown Winbond (ex Nexcom) SPI chip" (0 kB, SPI) on ch341a_spi. Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip (RDID)" (0 kB, SPI) on ch341a_spi. Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q64.W" (8192 kB, SPI) on ch341a_spi. Finding the correct chip or not seems to have little or nothing to do with the physical contact to the chip. If I then try to erase the chip. I get: # flashrom -p ch341a_spi -c W25Q64.W -E flashrom v0.9.9-r1954 on Linux 4.10.1-towo.1-siduction-amd64 (x86_64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q64.W" (8192 kB, SPI) on ch341a_spi. Erasing and writing flash chip... FAILED at 0x00000000!

Your flash chip is in an unknown state. Please report this on IRC at chat.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or mail flashrom(a)flashrom.org, thanks! Again, the hex codes for the failures seem pretty random and are different each time I try the command. I attach the log. Can anyone say what's going on? Best Regards Marius
