However, we will add the new names to the in-program (and hence
wiki) database so that this new information becomes public. Thanks for
the heads up, Victor.

Hi. I just successfully flashed SST49LF160C on a Wyse S10 terminal and
it works fine, so it looks like the chip is fully supported. I'm letting
You know, because there are some questions marks in "supported hardware"
table near this one.
root@OpenWrt:/# flashrom -p internal -w /tmp/2rom.rom -c SST49LF160C
flashrom v1.0 on Linux 4.14.95 (i586)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
No DMI table found.
Found chipset "AMD CS5536".
Enabling flash write... OK.
Found SST flash chip "SST49LF160C" (2048 kB, LPC) mapped at physical
address 0xffe00000.

The test status of this chip may have been updated in the latest development
version of flashrom. If you are running the latest development version,
please email a report to flashrom(a)flashrom.org if any of the above
operations
work correctly for you with this flash chip. Please include the flashrom log

Verifying flash... VERIFIED.
I have an MCU that can boot from two locations of it's flash. The flash
is 2097152 bytes, and the MCU will boot from location 0 or half way. So
I created a layout file, like so:
00000000:0000fffff bank0
00100000:0001fffff bank1
But flashrom is demanding the image to be written is the full 2097152
bytes. What am I missing?
flashrom -p .... --layout my_layout --image bank0 -w flash.bin
Error: Image size (1048576 B) doesn't match the flash chip's size
(2097152 B)!
Sir,
I wish to know if flashrom has support for Intel DX79SI motherboard, since I couldn't find the board enlisted on the flashrom website. However, I did find the link below, and I want to verify.

I shall be entirely grateful.

Hello,
I'm tried to read bios of PCB Western Digital to write it on a new PCB.
But I have a problem.
I use Ubuntu OS version 16.04.
This is the error message what I have I write the command "sudo flashrom

before this command, I have installed package with the command "sudo apt

Can you help me, please,

I have an ch341a programmer and an W25Q128.W Winbond Chip, im trying to flash
a custom bios where I just change the serial numbers. Flashing the backup bios works but
flashing any other roms ends up in an error mess. I have tried to just erase it with -E but with no luck.

So you are using a 1.8V converter between the programmer and the chip?
Regarding the original issue: If you can not change any bytes, I would
suspect the flash chip is write-protected. Check its datasheet, it is
likely pin 3 is somehow pulled low (write-protect pin is usually active
when low).
