Hello there! I'm sending you the outputs of lspci and flashrom's output, when using internal flash. I hope you can do some improvement. flashrom v1.2 on Linux 5.15.53-1-lts (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 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!. Could not determine chipset generation.PROBLEMS, continuing anyway ======================================================================== 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.

Introduction to the community - Dhiren
by dhiren serai 08 Sep '22

08 Sep '22

Hello everyone, I'm Dhiren Serai and I'm interested in contributing to one of GSOC 2022 Ideas called Design and implement new CLI based on libflashrom and extend the API as necessary . I'm new to C world but definitely not new to programming so I think I can adapt to this and get some hands dirty in Linux world. I'm also familiar with Linux concepts as I have been using it since 4 years so that shouldn't be a problem. I liked the gsoc 2022 idea which was proposed but as I'm not a student anymore I cannot do it as part of GSOC, but I have done open source contribution since 2 years so shouldn't be a problem for me to get started. I would like to work on this in the normal course of my time as a hobby. :D I'm excited to work on this. :D
