The board from the HP Pavilion a6200n which has the NVIDIA nForce 430 Chipset works great -- I tested it multiple times reading, writing and erasing the BIOS chip, no flaws, no errors at all. I'm also going to try and write the VESA chip (nVidia MCP61-80) which seems to be a separate chip, because that is the chip that seems to be causing all the trouble on this board.
Anyway, just thought you'd like to add that info to your list. I can also provide the dump from flashrom -V that the program says to email to you, as support isn't quite complete for my board/chip if you want.
Hello Alexander,
yes please send a verbose log (probing for the chip is good enough for now, no need to read/write). Can you confirm that this is the board in question? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01077676&tmp_task=p...
You seem to be under the impression that the graphics core uses a separate flash chip for its firmware. This is probably not the case. Instead it shares it with the "BIOS" chip that flashrom accesses.
