same AMD FP4 issue Daniel Rozsnyó with Dell Optiplex 5055 Ryzen APU
by lame_temp_email 21 May '23

21 May '23

exact same error readout as Daniel Rozsnyó (see link below, from April 23): https://mail.coreboot.org/hyperkitty/list/flashrom@flashrom.org/thread/P7TQ… Could not find in documentation any indication of non/compatibility of mainboard, computer, or CPU. Would appreciate any help to confirm or deny if possible to make headway towards successful flashing. Thanks. Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/) secure email.

flashrom discord channel
by Anastasia Klimchuk 20 May '23

20 May '23

Hello everyone, I wanted to share that there is a #flashrom channel on discord. It existed for a while, but I only very recently learned about it. I suspect it might be the same for many people who have no idea the channel exists. I updated the Contacts page (old and new) with the info: see https://www.flashrom.org/Contact#Discord or check the latest doc/contact.rst in your repo, and follow the invite link. The channel is on the coreboot server, so if you join you get all of coreboot and flashrom channels in one place, which is convenient. See you there, -- Anastasia.

MX25U12873F Flash ROM Write Success
by 抗グリアジン IgG抗体 20 May '23

20 May '23

My name is gliadin. I used Flashrom to write using RayeR's RayeR_SPI. here is report. Since the circuit is a breadboard and a voltage divider with resistors, there may have been a lot of errors. However, I am satisfied because the parallel port could actually become a ROM writer. thank you. I connected the load "MX25U12873F" to a 60Ω resistor and a 200Ω voltage dividing circuit, and adjusted the voltage to around 2.0v. Others were made by connecting 4 resistors of around 2kΩ, Darlington transistor (2SC1959) power through a 1.2kΩ resistor, and connecting to GND. The four resistors are on the JSPI side (ROM side). Otherwise the ROM could not be searched. When I made a dump file of the written contents and checked the binary data with GHex, it was written firmly to the end, so I don't think there is a problem, but I will report it. sudo flashrom --programmer rayer_spi -w B350M_E7A37AMS.1O6 flashrom v1.2 on Linux 5.15.0-72-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). Using RayeR SPIPGM pinout. Found Macronix flash chip "MX25U12835F" (16384 kB, SPI) on rayer_spi. Reading old flash chip contents... done. Erasing and writing flash chip... Erase/write done. Verifying flash... FAILED at 0x001cd9cf! Expected=0x46, Found=0x0d, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x00ffffff: 0x1804b4 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!

GallopMem 25Q64ASIG
by Chris Kuethe 16 May '23

Hi Folks, I was able to dump an 8MB GallopMem device using flashrom. As this does not appear to be a natively supported device. Here's the output from "flashrom -VV -p ch341a_spi" -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?

Unknown flash chip
by v0rIk 14 May '23

14 May '23

I'm attempting to flash a modded bios file to add NVMe support on a 2014 motherboard. When using the command: Flashrom -p internal -r backup.rom I get the error message SFDP has autodetected a flash chip which is not natively supported by flashrom yet. I ran the command flashrom.exe -p internal -vv -o output.txt as suggested by the program. The output file is attached. The specific mobo is ASROCK AM1H-ITX with 32mb Ami Atpio IV BIOS Thank you,

P25Q64SH flashrom output
by mrwigglet 13 May '23

13 May '23

Hi! Not sure how much you are interested, but I think I got a chip read by flashrom but it didn't natively recognize it. Output from flashrom -VV attached. The chip itself says it's a P25Q64SH, but only 8MB was read from it. I thought the 64 in the name meant 64MB, but perhaps not! Thanks for the great software (: Best, Nate

flashrom verify error
by Gregor Leipelt 02 May '23

02 May '23

Hello, flashrom reports an error and asked me to report it, so here goes: ------------ START ------------- flashrom -p buspirate_spi:dev=/dev/ttyUSB0,spispeed=128 -c "MX25L6436E/MX25L6445E/MX25L6465E/MX25L6473E/MX25L6473F" -w new.img flashrom v1.2 on Linux 5.15.0-71-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). Invalid SPI speed, using default. Bus Pirate firmware 6.1 and older does not support SPI speeds above 2 MHz. Limiting speed to 2 MHz. It is recommended to upgrade to firmware 6.2 or newer. Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L6436E/MX25L6445E/MX25L6465E/MX25L6473E/MX25L6473F" (8192 kB, SPI) on buspirate_spi. Reading old flash chip contents... done. Erasing and writing flash chip... Erase/write done. Verifying flash... FAILED at 0x005a1200! Expected=0x00, Found=0xff, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x007fffff: 0x100 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! ------------ END ------------- Background: I am currently flashing a few dozen Spansion MX25L64 roms using flashrom and BusPirate and it usually works fine. The above error happened ONCE, simply repeating the flashrom command resolved the issue, so it's probably not software related. Just let me know if you need more info. Finally, a big thank you for your work! Best regards Gregor
