Flash chip is in an unknown state
by Joao Gabriel Moura de Almeida 17 Apr '20

Hi all, Hope you are doing well. I am having some trouble flashing a W25Q64.V and was hoping someone could help me. I am using a CH341a with a SOIC8 clip, and was able to flash that chip beforehand successfully. The motherboard is an MSI P67a-C43 B3, I am trying to flash to the 1.J Version which can be downloaded here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/p67ac43_b3 I have pasted my logs from running "flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -w E7673IMS.1J0 -V" here: https://paste.flashrom.org/view.php?id=3305 Let me know if I can provide any more information. Thank you, Joao

will SPI flash GD25LB128D (GD25LB128DSIG) be soon supported?
by Stefan Priehse 17 Apr '20

This is the bios chip on ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING mainboard. This should be the data sheet of this family of SPI flash chips. https://www.gigadevice.com/flash-memory/gd25lb128d/ I tried to connect it to a raspberry pi-4 with SOIC test clip and 1,8v power supply and logic-level converter, but flashrom v0.9.9-r1954 on Linux 4.19.105-v8-28 (aarch64) only found: flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0,spispeed=1000 "... Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip (RDID)" (0 kB, SPI) on linux_spi. Probing for Generic unknown SPI chip (REMS), 0 kB: REMS returned 0xc0 0x01. probe_spi_rems: id1 0xc0, id2 0x1 Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip (RDID)" (0 kB, SPI). === This flash part has status NOT WORKING for operations: PROBE READ ERASE WRITE ..." I saw in newest version https://github.com/flashrom/flashrom/blob/master/flashchips.h this chip is still not listed. So probably also not supported in newest development version. regards s.priehse

Hi, I have a customer who attempted to flash a BIOS on one of our products using your software and got an error that I haven’t seen before. [][root@box:/mnt/sda1]$ flashrom -w flash/apu3_v4.11.0.5.rom -p internal flashrom v0.9.7-r1711-APU on Linux 3.8.13-tinycore (i686) flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org<http://www.flashrom.org/> Calibrating delay loop... delay loop is unreliable, trying to continue OK. coreboot table found at 0xdffae000. Found chipset "AMD FCH". Enabling flash write... FCH device found but SMBus rev. Please report this to flashrom(a)flashrom.org and include this log and the output of lspci -nnvx, thanks!. OK. FIFO pointer corruption! Pointer is 0, wanted 3 Something else is accessing the flash chip and causes random corruption. Please stop all applications and drivers and IPMI which access the flash chip. No EEPROM/flash device found. Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically. No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-detect to find out which these are. [][root@box:/mnt/sda1]$ The device she was updating was the APU3 https://pcengines.ch/apu3b4.htm Let me know if there’s anything you can do to help, nothing was running on the board except for TinyCore that holds flashrom.
