Hi!
I've tried to update the BIOS on the M11SDV-8C-LN4F mainboard,
running a very recent FreeBSD:
FreeBSD tst.opsec.eu 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #0 r364846: Thu Aug 27 05:10:55 UTC 2020 root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC amd64
This is the output of the command:
flashrom -w M11SDV0.630 -p internal
flashrom v1.2 on FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT (amd64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org
Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 4, 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.
Attached is the pciconf -lvb output (FreeBSD does not have lspci).
If it helps, I can try to boot some linux on that system.

pi(a)FreeBSD.org +49 171 3101372 Now what ?
I had recently had a bios update fail on my X-570 prime pro motherboard.
I'm not the most well versed in linux, and I downloaded it via sudo apt-get
install flashrom. It looks like this installed version 0.9.9. I'm not sure
if this version is the one I should use with the bios chip, which I believe
is a MX25U2564G. I also downloaded the 1.2 zip file, but how to build it
with linux. Do you have any recommended steps I should follow or what I
need to type into the terminal if version 0.9.9 doesn't work?
Hello,
I'm trying to read memory from "Boya Microelectronics" 25D16ASSIG chip. This chip seems to be unsuported so I would like to add support for it. Could you explain me how to find out manufacturer and device ID?
Best,
Tom
Yes, you will need to build a latest flashrom version (i.e. git clone)
from source. Luckily it's pretty easy to build - and, if any
questions, you could always ask us.

allo,
In the End of the Program is written that i send you this:
I try to flash the S25FL127S with 16 MB but in the list is it not
then i try with S25FL127S-256kB and this happen:

This flash part has status UNTESTED for operations: PROBE READ ERASE WRITE
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

which mainboard or programmer you tested in the subject line.
Thanks for your help!

Good, writing to the flash chip apparently didn't do anything.

Need Flashrom a update for the chip ?

When i try to flash bios using arduino uno,i get this "Found Generic flash
chip "unknown SPI chip (RDID)" (0 kb,SPI) on serprog. I use windbond w25Q32
chip. How i fix this?
Hey there,
flashrom told me to send you this log alongside the output of lspci, so
here you go ;)
Kind regards,

========================================================================
You may be running flashrom on an unknown laptop. We could not
detect this for sure because your vendor has not set up the SMBIOS
tables correctly. Some internal buses have been disabled for
safety reasons. You can enforce using all buses by adding
-p internal:laptop=this_is_not_a_laptop
to the command line, but please read the following warning if you
are not sure.
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.
