fails to detect rom chip from CIPC-GC13H(GK7102S) webcam
by Mark Starikov 21 Apr '20

21 Apr '20

Dear flashrom team, I'm trying to reflash chip on a webcam that failed firmware upgrade. I have desoldered chip from the board and hooked it up to pi 2B. I've tried to follow instructions here https://www.rototron.info/recover-bricked-bios-using-flashrom-on-a-raspberr…. I can see the chip now(didn't work at all while on the board) on spi but it fails to identify or read it. pi@raspberrypi:~/flashrom $ ./flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0,spispeed=2000 -r bricked.bin flashrom v1.2-27-ga25c13c on Linux 4.19.66-v7+ (armv7l) flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns). Found ST flash chip "unknown ST SPI chip" (0 kB, SPI) on linux_spi. === This flash part has status NOT WORKING for operations: PROBE READ ERASE WRITE The test status of this chip may have been updated in the latest development version of flashrom. If you are running the latest development version, please email a report to flashrom(a)flashrom.org if any of the above operations work correctly for you with this flash chip. Please include the flashrom log file for all operations you tested (see the man page for details), and mention which mainboard or programmer you tested in the subject line. Thanks for your help! Read is not working on this chip. Aborting. -VVV and -r outputs attached. As per message sending console output through. Please let me know if you need any additional information while it is still hooked up to breadboard. Kind regards, Mark S.

Hi, I am trying to use flashrom to write a BIOS and I'm getting the error below. Using afuwin64.exe is possible to update the BIOS. See the attachment to more information. root@14_101_31_142:/tmp# /root/flashrom/flashrom -p internal -w /tmp/new_bios.img flashrom v1.2-27-ga25c13c on Linux 4.13.0-38-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). Found chipset "Intel Q75". Enabling flash write... Warning: Setting Bios Control at 0xdc from 0x0a to 0x09 failed. New value is 0x0a. SPI Configuration is locked down. OK.

Please report this on IRC at chat.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or mail flashrom(a)flashrom.org, thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You may now reboot or simply leave the machine running.

question about winbond 25q128 bios flashing
by 小蒋 18 Apr '20

18 Apr '20

Dear sir I am a hardware enthusiast try to modify my motherboard's bios, cause after mmtool modify the rom's se data been corrupted so I can't flash it by bios app or afwin or other tools that use to flashing official bios. so I installed ubuntu 16.04 server version, and sudo apt-get install flashrom.  the motherboard I use is an X299 motherboard with winbond 25Q128JVSQ bios chip now I am running flash -p internal it shows as follows: jiang@ubuntu:~$ sudo flashrom -p internal flashrom v0.9.9-rc1-r1942 on Linux 4.4.0-131-generic (x86_64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org Calibrating delay loop... OK. WARNING: No chipset found. Flash detection will most likely fail. No EEPROM/flash device found. Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically. guess it cant recognize the chip on my motherboard. so in this condition, is there anyway to use flashrom writing my modified bios to mother board? Thanks in advance!

Flash chip is in an unknown state
by Joao Gabriel Moura de Almeida 17 Apr '20

17 Apr '20

Hi all, Hope you are doing well. I am having some trouble flashing a W25Q64.V and was hoping someone could help me. I am using a CH341a with a SOIC8 clip, and was able to flash that chip beforehand successfully. The motherboard is an MSI P67a-C43 B3, I am trying to flash to the 1.J Version which can be downloaded here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/p67ac43_b3 I have pasted my logs from running "flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -w E7673IMS.1J0 -V" here: https://paste.flashrom.org/view.php?id=3305 Let me know if I can provide any more information. Thank you, Joao

will SPI flash GD25LB128D (GD25LB128DSIG) be soon supported?
by Stefan Priehse 17 Apr '20

17 Apr '20

This is the bios chip on ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING mainboard. This should be the data sheet of this family of SPI flash chips. https://www.gigadevice.com/flash-memory/gd25lb128d/ I tried to connect it to a raspberry pi-4 with SOIC test clip and 1,8v power supply and logic-level converter, but flashrom v0.9.9-r1954 on Linux 4.19.105-v8-28 (aarch64) only found: flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0,spispeed=1000 "... Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip (RDID)" (0 kB, SPI) on linux_spi. Probing for Generic unknown SPI chip (REMS), 0 kB: REMS returned 0xc0 0x01. probe_spi_rems: id1 0xc0, id2 0x1 Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip (RDID)" (0 kB, SPI). === This flash part has status NOT WORKING for operations: PROBE READ ERASE WRITE ..." I saw in newest version https://github.com/flashrom/flashrom/blob/master/flashchips.h this chip is still not listed. So probably also not supported in newest development version. regards s.priehse
