Hello, I tried to write to a windbond 25q64fvaig and received an error. Input: cr1tm4n@XANADU1:~$ sudo flashrom -p buspirate_spi:dev=/dev/ttyUSB0 -w /home/cr1tm4n/dream/test.bin Output: flashrom v1.2 on Linux 6.2.0-32-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). 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.

VT6421A Woes
by NinCollin 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

I have a VT6421A-based card, and flashrom doesn't seem to want to detect it; below are my lspci and flashrom logs. I should mention that the only form of unique identifier on my card is "ST515" on the box (googling this reveals the name Sunweit). The BIOS chip seems to be empty, as the card does not display its RAID menu on boot as it should. There's more detail about these cards (and a couple more lspci's) on the wiki at https://wiki.flashrom.org/VT6421A [collin@reimu ~]$ sudo lspci -nnvvvxx -d 1106:3249 02:05.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: VIA Technologies, Inc.

Support for M50FLW080A
by Javier Bizcocho 26 Aug '23

26 Aug '23

Hello guys, I'm trying to flash a modded bios on my motherboard. The computer is a Dell SC1435 and the flash chip in question "M50FLW080A" is supported by the tool already, but just partially. It looks like it can read the bios, but when reading or erasing it always fails (and every now and then it even forces my PC to reboot). My server is running FreeBSD 13.1, but I've also tried with Ubuntu (same result). Even though it fails to erase / write the chip was never altered at all, so I wonder if there is any kind of protection on it. Is there any logs that I can extract from the tool itself? I'd like to avoid the need to de-soldering the chip in order to flash it :). Any thoughts? Thank you in advance, Javi.

Hello everyone, An announcement to everyone who is doing (or planning to do) any flashrom development. Since today, we are enabling the feature in Gerrit which blocks patch submit until all comments are resolved. You can see it in Gerrit if you open any patch, in the top-left section, "All-Comments-Resolved" label. If all the comments are resolved, the label is marked with a green checkbox. If there are unresolved comments, the label says "No votes" and submit is blocked. Thanks heaps to Patrick for helping to set this up! -- Anastasia.
