Hi, I'm the asker of this question: https://superuser.com/questions/1613342/why-do-windows-updates-make-linux-r…
I was hoping to use `flashrom` to gather before/after dumps, which I can (hopefully) compare to get to the bottom of my problem.
When I run: `sudo flashrom --programmer internal`
I get this:
--- begin output ---
flashrom on Linux 4.19.0-13-amd64 (x86_64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org
Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).
Found chipset "AMD FP4".
Enabling flash write... FCH device found but SMBus revision 0x59 does not match known values.
Please report this to flashrom(a)flashrom.org and include this log and
the output of lspci -nnvx, thanks!.
Could not determine chipset generation.PROBLEMS, continuing anyway
No EEPROM/flash device found.
Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically.
--- end output ---
the output of lspci is attached.
Thanks,
Matt
So I disabled write protection with a suzy-qable but when I tried to flash
the system I got an error, please see below. Can you advise what I should
do?
thanks

========================================================================
You seem to be running flashrom on an unknown laptop. Some
internal buses have been disabled for safety reasons.
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 https://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.
You have been warned.
========================================================================
No EEPROM/flash device found.
Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically.

Greetings!
Thanks for creating such wonderful tool.
i would like to ask for a suggestion as developers of the tool will be the
best one to ask.
Basically i am trying to flash efi chip on imac,
micronix MX25L6406E/MX25L6408E but just can't get any readings....
i got an working macbook with same chip and once i connect to it,
everything works like charm. i was able to read file from working macbook
10 times(8/10 checksum matched!). So i can assume my setup is correct! But
no luck reading same chip from imac motherboard.
Could you please suggest anything?
Could it be that:
1) because chip is on password locked chip is not readable? (doesn't
make sense though, right?)
2) maybe chip is faulty? which is very unlikely
3) could it be because chip is on motherboard and unsoldering it
would help?
4) i am currently reading chip with sudo flashrom -r oldefi1.bin -V
-p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0
maybe there is some additional arguments, i should try.
Regards,
Sergio
Hi,
I would like to ask about read parametr. I have PC HP All-in-one and after
change SSD disk PC blackout, not even logo shown up, so i found
instructions how to write newer bios(because led double flash and that me
bios corrupted) using Arduino UNO to ROM_RECOVER bus.Firstly I try backup
old ROM used command: sudo flashrom -p serprog:dev=/dev/ttyACM0:115200 -r
old.ROM and after that I saw serial line sending data but after 10 minutes
LED TX turn off and at Terminal is still Reading flash.... after 30minute
waiting nothing happend. Will you advise me?
Thank you,
in attachment is picture of terminal

Subject: Re: [flashrom] Unrecognized SMBus revision
To: Edward O'Callaghan (Code Review) <gerrit(a)coreboot.org>
Please let me retract part of what I said, which is incorrect:
"I do have one who has an 0x51 board with a 0x51 board which is the other
email from/to Jean-Paul Crespy. The 0x51 was also listed in Rene Rebe's
patch from the flashrom list of Oct 12."
First , Jean-Paul Crespy, nor any other of those I know of, have an
"0x51" board. This only appears in Rene Rebe's email of Oct 12, supposedly
in reference to a friend's AMD Ryzen 4000 Mobile. I could not find a
definite revision # for his friend's Ryzen 4000, but it is a relatively new
machine and likely 0x61. See:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ogbl#label/coreboot%2Fflashrom/WhctKJWHzS…
I sat down and put what data I had into a small file, and this is what I
have:
Clay Daniels <clay.daniels.jr(a)gmail.com> 0x61 X570 MSI
Rene Rebe <rene(a)exactcode.com> 0x61 X570 Asus
Julian Labus <julian(a)labus-online.de> 0x61 X570 Gigabyte AORUS
madsys <madsys(a)gmail.com> 0x61 X570 ASUS
Jean-Paul Crespy <jean-paul.crespy(a)laposte.net> 0x61
绅士无双 <hentaiwushuang(a)gmail.com> 0x61 X570 MSI
romain <roms2000(a)free.fr> 0x61 B450 ASRockRack B450D4U-V1L
Boggy <mrboggy(a)gmail.com> 0x59 X470 Asus
Branko <brankob(a)s5tehnika.net> 0x59 X470 MSI
Gergely Tomka <tomkatudor(a)gmail.com> 0x59 X370 ASRock
I think Rene Rebe is mistaken, and I just blindly copied his work. Anyway,
the upshot is that what you have done is entirely correct, and needs no
further addition of any "0x51" board.
Thanks again for all your good work,
Clay Daniels
