successful_crossflashing_S2466

20 Aug '09

Hi! After i had problems flashing a SST 49LF004B on an asus m2npv-vm my last chance was a Tyan Tiger S2466 board which i haven't tried so far. Because this board is not listed here: > http://www.coreboot.org/Flashrom#Supported_mainboards I want you to know that this board works fine out of the box with the latest flashrom release (r669). Feel free to add this board now to the supported_mainboard list The original chip used in this board is a Winbond W49V002AP. > root@security:~/flashrom# ./flashrom -w 1805.BIN > flashrom v0.9.0-r669 > No coreboot table found. > Found chipset "AMD AMD-768", enabling flash write... OK. > This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI. > Calibrating delay loop...

[Patch] Board enable for Asus P4P800-E Deluxe.
by Luc Verhaegen 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

First time i successfully dug one out of an AMI Bios. int16h ax=0xE0 is indeed the ticket. This one has its int16h vector at the standard location it seems: 0xF000:0xE82E. Not sure how general this is for AMI. It does seem that i will require dumps of the F segment for this to work though. Luc Verhaegen.

"lspci -vvnnxx" and "superiotool -d" dumps from an Asus m2n68 motherboard needing a board enable
by Putlinuxonit 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

Hi All, This board has it's chipset detected but the eeprom flash chip isn't even though it's an MXIC25L8005 chip which is listed in "flashrom -L" Just thought i'll put up the dumps. Do let me know if you need further testing. Udu E. Ogah

Not sure where to put this?
by Marko Kraljevic 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

Hi, I'm new to the list. I've been playing with flashrom some, and it's great. Thanks for the work guys. I've put a ZIF socket on a 3com NIC, for external programming. It seems to be working great. I've taken a picture, maybe it would be useful for the wiki or something. I'm not a terribly good programmer, but I'm pretty good with hardware generally... I'm going to be doing some more hardware work in the future. I think I'll make an ISA card with 32 and 28pin ZIF, and PLCC socket, on the 440BX board I have, addr is off the ISA bus, so I'll just buffer that. Data seems to go to the superIO chip, so I'll have to have a cheater socket under the stock BIOS ROM to steal /CS D0:7, etc. I think I'll buffer all the lines on the card, so that the bus doesn't get fried in case of a fried chip or whatnot. It will be a sort of general purpose flashing board. I think I'll try and implement support for the older 27xxx EPROMs at some point, which shouldn't be too difficult I don't think? anyways, here's the picture if anyone wants it: http://electrontube.org/img/3com_prog.jpg Mark

Asus A7v600-X works with stable v0.9.0 but not with bleeding edge
by Putlinuxonit 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

Hi All, I'd like to report than an Asus A7V600-X with bios 1009 works with flashrom 0.9.0 stable. The stock version found on the latest stable realease of systemrescuecd 1.2.3. There are some caveats however... find below a few dumps for your review. root@sysresccd% ./flashrom *flashrom v0.9.0* No coreboot table found. *Found chipset "VIA VT8237"*, enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI. Calibrating delay loop... OK. *Found chip "PMC Pm49FL002" (256 KB, LPC,FWH)* at physical address 0xfffc0000. No operations were specified. The strange thing is that when i tried using the bleeding edge r694 i get the following root@sysresccd /root % ./flashrom -w fimrwarea7v600-x.old *flashrom v0.9.0-r694* No coreboot table found. Found chipset "VIA VT8237", enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI. Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chip "PMC Pm49FL002" (256 KB, LPC,FWH) at physical address 0xfffc0000. Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks. Writing flash chip... Programming page: ERASE FAILED at 0x00000000! Expected=0xff, Read=0x03, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x00003fff: 0x33a6 ERASE FAILED! ERASE FAILED! FAILED! Your flash chip is in an unknown state. Get help on IRC at irc.freenode.net channel #flashrom or mail flashrom(a)flashrom.org ------------------------------------------------------------ DO NOT REBOOT OR POWEROFF! i then use the stock 0.9.0 version to reprogramme and i get this root@sysresccd /root % flashrom -w fimrwarea7v600-x.old Calibrating delay loop... OK. No coreboot table found. Found chipset "VIA VT8237", enabling flash write... OK. Found chip "PMC Pm49FL002" (256 KB) at physical address 0xfffc0000. Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks. Programming page: 0015 at address: 0x0003c000 i* verify if it's written ok* root@sysresccd /root % flashrom -v fimrwarea7v600-x.old Calibrating delay loop... OK. No coreboot table found. Found chipset "VIA VT8237", enabling flash write... OK. Found chip "PMC Pm49FL002" (256 KB) at physical address 0xfffc0000. Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks. Verifying flash... VERIFIED. root@sysresccd /root % flashrom -R *flashrom v0.9.0* so basically, When i use the stock v0.9.0 to dump and write back the firmware on my A7v600-x, everything is fine. when i try to use the current svn. r694, it fails. i had to reflash with stable 0.9.0 after the r694 failed. I've successfully rebooted and verified no damage done to motherboard. interestingly, I downloaded the latest version of the bios (1009) off asus website, same version as i'm running and when i unzip it yeilds an *.awd ( i guess award) file. This file is supposed to be the same version as the one i'm running but when i try both stock v0.9.0 and r694 on it. they both fail. Beats me. maybe the awardflasher file format is different from what I get when i do* "flashrom -r firmware-old.bin"* * * I've also compared md5 checksums on both the firmware-old.bin and the one downloaded off the asus website but they both give different results even though they are meant to be the same version (1009). Anyway, hats-off to the devs for all the good work. idlogin -- Udu E. Ogah .~~~~~~~~~~. attachments I've attached flashrom -V dumps for both 0.9.0 and r694 latest Asus bios for A7v600-X
