We have been discussing about the future of these patches and they
cannot be accepted as-is today. Mostly, Nico was worried that issuing
SPI commands for the EDI protocol might cause some chips to misbehave if
these commands have another signification. I think this is a valid
concern.
We agreed that one way to solve this would be to create groups for
probing, e.g. one with jedec-compliant chips (default) and one for ene
chips, so that only one group is probbed at the same time.
I did not have the time to implement this idea yet, so it will block
kb9012 inclusion for now. If you'd like to go ahead and implement this
feature, I'd be happy to review your patches!
Cheers,
Paul

Hi folks,
flashrom-1.0 is out! finally. It's not a very big version step in terms
of changes, but it was about time and we thought with the switch over to
Git it's the right moment for 1.0.
Here are the release notes:
https://flashrom.org/Flashrom/1.0
If you don't use Git, you can find a tarball here:
https://download.flashrom.org/releases/flashrom-1.0.tar.bz2
Thanks to everybody supporting flashrom and this release in particular.
Nico
flashrom v0.9.9-rc1-r1942 on Linux 4.10.0-38-generic (i686)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org
Calibrating delay loop... OK.

No usable erase functions left.
FAILED!
Uh oh. Erase/write failed. Checking if anything has changed.
Reading current flash chip contents... done.
Good, writing to the flash chip apparently didn't do anything.
This means we have to add special support for your board, programmer or flash
chip. Please report this on IRC at chat.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or
mail flashrom(a)flashrom.org, thanks!

You may now reboot or simply leave the machine running.

The reason, why i am traying to update BIOS is that Linux before
installing said that i have pnpBios Fault. So i also cant to install
other OSes like Windows. So I have a problem.

Hi,
Attaching a patch which works around the valloc() issue in the DJGPP.
Please apply before the flashrom 1.0.
In the meanwhile, it would be great if someone could test it too,
if needed I will distribute the executable for a test to Rayer (on CC).
I will also try to get some help on DJGPP list, as this issue happens
even with the official RPMs of DJGPP 2.05.
Signed-off-by: Rudolf Marek <r.marek(a)assembler.cz>
Fix the documentation and DOS port.
Update the DOS cross-compile documentation,
and workaround issue with valloc() with the
latest DJGPP.
Thanks
Rudolf
