-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, I succesfully flashed an official MSI BIOS (version 7B48v2C) onto my MSI Z370-A PRO motherboard (Intel Z370 chipset, Intel Core i7 8086k CPU) using flashrom 1.2. It scared me as first, then it showed the BIOS screen... then rebooted a few times, then it booted succesfully! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEARYIAB0WIQT9GEgotw7oWiVcdotzKTKWiWXeVgUCX1gJdQAKCRBzKTKWiWXe VuRbAP9KNqpOELFGRFGO3yjHS1jX6dY73+1bJQdPEyhU4BQq1AEAgAZ36LLZs5kg MI4jDZnzxIgMeDNm+2XNCWxj7qWWPQY= =ioGw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Mainboard Supermicro, M11SDV-8C-LN4F, does not find EEPROM
by Kurt Jaeger 30 Aug '20

Hi! I've tried to update the BIOS on the M11SDV-8C-LN4F mainboard, running a very recent FreeBSD: FreeBSD tst.opsec.eu 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #0 r364846: Thu Aug 27 05:10:55 UTC 2020 root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC amd64 This is the output of the command: flashrom -w M11SDV0.630 -p internal flashrom v1.2 on FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT (amd64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 4, resolution: 1ns). Found chipset "AMD FP4". Enabling flash write... FCH device found but SMBus revision 0x59 does not match known values. Please report this to flashrom(a)flashrom.org and include this log and the output of lspci -nnvx, thanks!. Could not determine chipset generation.PROBLEMS, continuing anyway No EEPROM/flash device found. Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically. Attached is the pciconf -lvb output (FreeBSD does not have lspci). If it helps, I can try to boot some linux on that system. -- pi(a)FreeBSD.org +49 171 3101372 Now what ?

Flashing bios onto ASUS X570
by Mike Payne 29 Aug '20

29 Aug '20

I had recently had a bios update fail on my X-570 prime pro motherboard. I'm not the most well versed in linux, and I downloaded it via sudo apt-get install flashrom. It looks like this installed version 0.9.9. I'm not sure if this version is the one I should use with the bios chip, which I believe is a MX25U2564G. I also downloaded the 1.2 zip file, but how to build it with linux. Do you have any recommended steps I should follow or what I need to type into the terminal if version 0.9.9 doesn't work?

Hello, I'm trying to read memory from "Boya Microelectronics" 25D16ASSIG chip. This chip seems to be unsuported so I would like to add support for it. Could you explain me how to find out manufacturer and device ID? Best, Tom

Yes, you will need to build a latest flashrom version (i.e. git clone) from source. Luckily it's pretty easy to build - and, if any questions, you could always ask us.
