Hi all,
I have a SuperMicro H8QG6/i-F motherboard, which I recently attempted to
flash with flashrom. As per the man page, I probed the rom first, then made
a backup of the current state, which I have. Initially, the probe reported
my chip as a "SST SST25VF016B", with the probe, read, and write operations
supported. I attempted to flash another copy of the current rom (obtained
from super micro's website), and it complained about not being able to
erase, then said "SUCCESS" and "done", and "COMPLETE". Then it started
verifying, and the verify failed. I then tried to restore the backup I had
made, and it now reports the chip as a "SST unknown SST SPI chip", with all
four operations not working. Attached are the output of the failed flash
attempt, and a probe from after that attempt.
Thanks,
--Colin
