Gigabyte H55M-S2H with 2 Macronix MX25L6465EM2I flash chips
by Александр Трубицын 22 Apr '15

22 Apr '15

Hello! I have Gigabyte H55M-S2H motherboard with 2 MX25L6465EM2I SPI flash chips, but now flashrom asks me to choose from 3 different chips: Multiple flash chip definitions match the detected chip(s): "MX25L6405(D)", "MX25L6406E/MX25L6436E", "MX25L6445E/MX25L6473E" Please specify which chip definition to use with the -c <chipname> option. I find chip datasheet where: http://www.datasheetarchive.com/dl/Datasheets-IS78/DSAH00369299.pdf In the table 6 (ID Definitions) of this datasheet we can see RDID=0x2017 1. Is it possible to use one of supposed chip or a new one? 2. Can you add comment about MX25L6465 in the flashchips.h after MX25L6405 or new definition in flashchips.c ? 3. Is it possible to determine flash chip by RDID and RES (Read Electronic Signature)? -- Best regards Alexander.V Trubitsyn

Hi Carl, I found two applications for flashing ati cards. One it's executed under win environment and the other it's flashrom.exe and it works under DOS. Anyway the problem had been solved and i just wanted to know if flashrom has a native support for flashing video cards. Thank you very much for your kindness!

Hi Alex, there is another tool called ati flashrom 2.40 which is unrelated to flashrom.org. Maybe the tool you're talking about is ati flashrom, not flashrom.org flashrom with video card patches.

They are not much different to other supported PCI(E) programmers in flashrom. After all, they are just an interface to a flash chip like a network card is for its boot flash. The problem is that no one cared any longer for graphics cards and that the interface changed and became way more complicated. So "making flashrom to look at * card in order to flash the bios of it" does not cut it. You need to reverse engineer the correct access pattern and reimplement it in a flashrom programmer module. -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner
