Failure chip?
by mozygeek＠outlook.com 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Hi, please I need your help, after venturing for the first time to reprogram the BIOS chip EON EN25F64 with CH341A device to incorporate a NVME upgrade I had a nightmare day, I can read it but not write/verify it, is the chip defective, would a newer chip with the same specs work with a SOIC-to-DIP adapter? M/B: ASUS P8Z77-V Flashrom 1.2.5.0 CLI Windows 10 21H2 x64 Please I would greatly appreciate your help.

flashrom & flashrom-stable could/should they share resources?
by Nico Huber 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Hi all, since the idea to create a new project "flashrom-stable" on coreboot.org I was wondering how the two projects could coexist best and if they should share resources like the webpage / wiki. Any thoughts on this? Related: If participating in things like GSoC should we do that together? It seems most topics are applicable to both projects anyway. Cheers, Nico PS. I'll also put this on tomorrows meeting agenda.

report progress to std
by Saeid Yazdani 15 Mar '23

15 Mar '23

Hi all, Is there a way/switch to write flash progress into std. I want to create a graphical wrapper for flashrom and want to show the progress on the screen. I tried to use different verbose switches but it is kind of not easy to parse.

flashrom facing error
by Zhai, MingXin (Duke) 15 Mar '23

[AMD Official Use Only - General] hi Flashrom owner, I want use this tool on my laptop,but it show error as bellow: could you please give me some suggest? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ root@TEST-VN:/home/scbu# flashrom -p internal -r 1.bin flashrom v1.2 on Linux 5.19.0-1523438.22.04.amdgpu.amd64 (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). No DMI table found. Found chipset "AMD FP4". Enabling flash write... FCH device found but SMBus revision 0x71 does not match known values. Please report this to flashrom(a)flashrom.org<mailto:flashrom@flashrom.org> and include this log and the output of lspci -nnvx, thanks!. Could not determine chipset generation.PROBLEMS, continuing anyway ======================================================================== 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.

Flashrom fails to update ME on Intel idaville HCC platform
by Stan Jiang 15 Mar '23

15 Mar '23

Hello developer team, On the Intel idaville HCC platform, as long as there are differences in the ME settings between the currently booted BIOS and the image to be updated, the flashrom will prompt that the erase failed when updating the ME This is the platform information I added in chip_enable.c { 0x8086,0x18DC, B_S, NT, "Intel", "idaville", enable_flash_c620}, The attachment is the log of the update success and update failure Do I need to add specific settings for the Intel idaville HCC platform to update the BIOS (ME settings are different)? Thanks. An example of a failed update below: [root@localhost home]# ./flashrom -p internal:boardenable=force -w CB2.1.01.04.bi flashrom unknown on Linux 4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64 (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). No DMI table found. Found chipset "Intel idaville". This chipset is marked as untested. If you are using an up-to-date version of flashrom *and* were (not) able to successfully update your firmware with it, then please email a report to flashrom(a)flashrom.org including a verbose (-V) log. Thank you! Enabling flash write... SPI Configuration is locked down. Enabling hardware sequencing because some important opcode is locked. OK. Found Programmer flash chip "Opaque flash chip" (65536 kB, Programmer-specific) mapped at physical address 0x0000000000000000. Reading old flash chip contents... done. Erasing and writing flash chip... Transaction error between offset 0x00001000 and 0x00001fff (= 0x00001000 + 4095)! Reading current flash chip contents... done. Looking for another erase function. Looking for another erase function. Looking for another erase function. Looking for another erase function. Looking for another erase function. Looking for another erase function. Looking for another erase function. No usable erase functions left. FAILED! Uh oh. Erase/write failed. Checking if anything has changed. Reading current flash chip contents... done. Good, writing to the flash chip apparently didn't do anything. This means we have to add special support for your board, programmer or flash chip. Please report this to the mailing list at flashrom(a)flashrom.org or on IRC (see https://www.flashrom.org/Contact for details), thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You may now reboot or simply leave the machine running.
