Found chipset "AMD FP4". Enabling flash write... FCH device found but SMBus revision 0x61 does not match known values. Please report this to flashrom(a)flashrom.org and include this log and the output of lspci -nnvx, thanks!.

FlashRom error report
by 이준기 15 Jun '22

15 Jun '22

Hello. I'm Junki Lee and I'm using a translator, so please understand. I used flashrom on my laptop and it gave me an error. ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Documents$ sudo flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -w X5BF.B08 -c MX25L6406E/MX25L6408E flashrom v1.2 on Linux 5.13.0-30-generic (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 Macronix flash chip "MX25L6406E/MX25L6408E" (8192 kB, SPI) on ch341a_spi. Reading old flash chip contents... done. Erasing and writing flash chip... Erase/write done. Verifying flash... FAILED at 0x0004801f! Expected=0x32, Found=0x22, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x007fffff: 0x3c5a Your flash chip is in an unknown state. Please report this on IRC at chat.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or mail flashrom(a)flashrom.org, thanks! The model name of the laptop is Aorus X5.(https://www.gigabyte.com/Laptop/X5) CH341A was used as equipment. The name of the EEPROM is MX25L6406E from Macronix. The rom file used was downloaded from the link above. I've used flashrom several times, but the error was almost the same. It was always the same up to the failed byte 0x007fffff part, only the hexadecimal number after it was slightly different. I also tried CH341A programmer and AsProgrammer. Tried with multiple versions, same error as above. The delete worked fine, but the write operation always throws an error. My laptop is bricked. Can you help me?

Refactor arguments parser - GSOC project thread
by Chinmay Lonkar 10 Jun '22

10 Jun '22

Hello, Today I had a meeting with my mentors Felix and Anastasia. The project plan has been broken into phases. I'll work on the first phase, which will entail creating an alternative to extract_programmer_param() that will parse the programmer's sub-arguments according to the data type in which they have to be utilized in the code. So, I'll be reading through the code and working out a solution for this task, as well as analyzing all of the other parameters that the programmers utilize. Regards, Chinmay Lonkar

Verify problem with W25Q256JVEQ
by Mathieu Othacehe 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Hello, I am trying to flash a Winbond 25Q256JVEQ with a dediprog programmer. The W25Q256JVEQ flash is put in a WSON8 socket. The socket pins are directly wired to the dediprog. The chip is detected and can be erased. However, the verification always fail this way: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q256.V" (32768 kB, SPI) on dediprog. Chip status register is 0x00. ... Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q256.V" (32768 kB, SPI). This chip may contain one-time programmable memory. flashrom cannot read and may never be able to write it, hence it may not be able to completely clone the contents of this chip (see man page for details). Reading old flash chip contents... done. Erasing and writing flash chip... Trying erase function 0... 0x000000-0x000fff:EW Erase/write done. Verifying flash... FAILED at 0x00000000! Expected=0x71, Found=0xff, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x01ffffff: 0x268 Your flash chip is in an unknown state. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I tried to add a 0.1uF decoupling resistor on VCC as well as pull-ups on CS, WP and HOLD pins and pull down on CLK as proposed in the "Winbond SPI NOR Flash Device APPLICATION NOTE", without any progress. I tried several W25Q256JVEQ flash memories and always observed the same behaviour. Any idea what could be wrong? Thanks, Mathieu
