HP EliteDesk 705 G1 flash chip not detected
by duje.mihanovic＠skole.hr 23 Sep '23

23 Sep '23

Hello, I am trying to get flashrom working on my HP EliteDesk 705 G1 (AMD 15h family APU) in preparation for modding NVMe support into its UEFI. I however cannot get flashrom to detect the flash chip, as seen when I try to probe for flash chips: [nix-shell:~]# flashrom -p internal:laptop=this_is_not_a_laptop flashrom v1.3.0 on Linux 6.1.54 (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). No DMI table found. Found chipset "AMD FCH". Enabling flash write... Disabling write protection of flash addresses from 0xffff0000 to 0xffffffff failed. Disabling write protection of flash addresses from 0xffff0000 to 0xffffffff failed. Disabling write protection of flash addresses from 0xffff0000 to 0xffffffff failed. Disabling write protection of flash addresses from 0xffff0000 to 0xffffffff failed. ERROR: State of SpiAccessMacRomEn or SpiHostAccessRomEn prohibits full access. PROBLEMS, continuing anyway ======================================================================== You may be running flashrom on an unknown laptop. We could not detect this for sure because your vendor has not set up the SMBIOS tables correctly. Some internal buses have been disabled for safety reasons. You can enforce using all buses by adding -p internal:laptop=this_is_not_a_laptop to the command line, but please read the following warning if you are not sure. Laptops, notebooks and netbooks are difficult to support and we recommend to use the vendor flashing utility. The embedded controller (EC) in these machines often interacts badly with flashing. See the manpage and https://flashrom.org/Laptops for details. If flash is shared with the EC, erase is guaranteed to brick your laptop and write may brick your laptop. Read and probe may irritate your EC and cause fan failure, backlight failure and sudden poweroff. You have been warned. ======================================================================== No EEPROM/flash device found. Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically. This error happens regardless of whether or not the FDO jumper on the motherboard is shorted. From what I see the AMD FCH should be supported by flashrom, so what else can I do to get this working? Thanks, Duje

FAILED: "lenovo ideapad 3 11igl05"!
by Michael Galea 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

Hi There, I'm trying to boot coreboot into an ideapad 3 11igl05 using MrChromebox's firmware-sh script. Their firmware-sh gives the following details about box.. Device: Lenovo Idepad 3 Chromebook Platform: Intel GeminiLake Fw Type: Stock ChromeOs w/RW_LEGACY Fw WP: Disabled Trying to install Install/Update UEFI Firmware fails, but gens a logfile. Examining the log, there seems to be issues writing the flash, such as "FAILED at 0x00001000! Expected=0xff, Found=0xaa, failed byte count from 0x00001000-0x00001fff: 0x1cc ERASE_FAILED FAILED! Uh oh. Erase/write failed. Your flash chip is in an unknown state. Get help on IRC (see https://www.flashrom.org/Contact) or mail..." To reduce the file size I deleted 254,000 lines of "HSFC: FGO=1, FCYCLE=0, FDBC=63, SME=0" from the file. I would appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you -- Michael Galea

Micron N25Q064..3E + N25Q032..3E / Lenovo Thinkpad W541 / ch341a_spi

Hi, The output from flashrom instructed me to notify this email address of testing these chips. It specifies an untested operation "WP" - am I right in thinking this is "Write Protect"? I'd like to help test this operation if I'm able, and if it is useful. I could not find anything by searching the man page for "WP" "wp" or "write protect". Thank you for your time, -- Jim

VT6421A Woes
by NinCollin 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

I have a VT6421A-based card, and flashrom doesn't seem to want to detect it; below are my lspci and flashrom logs. I should mention that the only form of unique identifier on my card is "ST515" on the box (googling this reveals the name Sunweit). The BIOS chip seems to be empty, as the card does not display its RAID menu on boot as it should. There's more detail about these cards (and a couple more lspci's) on the wiki at https://wiki.flashrom.org/VT6421A [collin@reimu ~]$ sudo lspci -nnvvvxx -d 1106:3249 02:05.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: VIA Technologies, Inc.
