My patches depend on a fairly recent change. Alternatively, if you want to avoid checking out the svn copy, change: return it8712f_gpio_set(3, 1); to return it8712f_gpio_set(13, 1); Otherwise, apply these 2 patches to svn (and ignore the previous patch). Thanks, Josh

The old version of flashrom failed because of a write protection that is in place on your system. As Stefan mentioned, newer flashrom versions will not write blocks that don't need to be written.

Thanks, Josh p.s. please use `lspci -vvvnnxxx' (as root) with 3 x's. Thanks.

Can you please download and try the latest? Then try writing the original rom back with the newer flashrom. This may restore the bits that were written by the old flashrom. It is likely that you will need a "board enable" in order to write to your entire chip. Please reply with the output of `lspci -vvvnnxxx' and `superiotool -deV' both as root. Oh, and the output of the newer `flashrom -V' . Thanks, Josh

Hi, I tried to flash an A7N8X-VM400 board with the current bios (got it with flashrom -r). The current bios rom was of identical size as the downloaded newer bios rom. I figured it would be safest to try to flash with the old one :) The information below is copied from the terminal: svante@stereo:~$ sudo flashrom -wV current_A7NVM400-ASUS.080009.rom flashrom v0.9.1-r946 No coreboot table found.

ASRock ConRoeXFire-eSATA2 board support
by PaulK 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hi! I'm new to this list so I'll start by introducing myself a bit: I'm a french student involved in free software: I use GNU/Linux distros on all my PCs, mostly with the fully free Trisquel distro and I'm also a developer (I know C quite well) mostly involved in the Replicant project (fully free Android derivate) as a hacker (lower-level stuff). The lead dev on the project (GNUtoo) decided to look at how doable it is to port his board to coreboot, so I decided to follow his lead and look at which of the motherboards I own would be the best one for coreboot. I have 2 boards that might be good candidates, ASRock ConRoeXFire-eSATA2 (which has a socketed PLCC32 chip) and Asus P5LP-LE (Lithium) with a soldered PLCC32 chip. Both boards have supported North/Southbridge and SuperIO already supported in coreboot. I decided to start the work on the ASRock ConRoeXFire-eSATA2 one and got a few needed things from the local electronics shop. Then I started to run flashrom on it. So far, I've been able to read the content of the PLCC chip with flashrom (http://download.paulk.fr/coreboot/conroe-xfire-esata2.bin) but it failed at write. All the logs and necessary informations should be attached to this mail. What are the next steps for me to have working write on flashrom with that board? -- Paul Kocialkowski * Website : http://www.paulk.fr/ * Blog : http://blog.paulk.fr/ * Microblogging : http://status.paulk.fr/

Question about the EC code
by Marcos Felipe Rasia de Mello 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hi flashrom people, Reading the wiki, I understood the basics about the laptops ECs. A friend brought to me a bricked Clevo M540SE/M550SE (main board "6-71-M5E50-D02A") after an unsuccessful BIOS upgrade. He used these two files: ftp://usftp.clevo.com.tw/ALLBIOS/M5xxSE/M5xSE_H805.zip ftp://usftp.clevo.com.tw/ALLBIOS/M5xxSE/M5xSE_13.zip (he found the files in this forum: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/416916-clevo-bios-thread-55.html ) The first file is the "EC update", which need to be updated before que second one, the BIOS itself. What I do not understand is why the EC code is separated. According to what I understand, the EC code is part of BIOS image and the update utility needs some voodoo work to put the EC in a "loop", update the flash chip and then put the EC into operation again. It is an old laptop, with a soldered PLCC-32 chip (I do not remember the exact model now, but it is a plain SST 512KB LPC chip). If I put a socket in the laptop and program the chip with the WPH file (second link) via hot swap using a desktop board (same flash voltage, bus) will it work? Marcos
