flashrom v0.9.7-r1711 on Linux 3.14.35-std452-amd64 (x86_64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chipset "Intel H61". Enabling flash write... Warning: Setting Bios Control at 0xdc from 0x0a to 0x0b on H61 failed. New value is 0x0a. Warning: SPI Configuration Lockdown activated. FREG0: Warning: Flash Descriptor region (0x00000000-0x00000fff) is read-only. FREG2: Warning: Management Engine region (0x00001000-0x001fffff) is locked. Not all flash regions are freely accessible by flashrom. This is most likely due to an active ME. Please see http://flashrom.org/ME for details. Writes have been disabled for safety reasons. You can enforce write support with the ich_spi_force programmer option, but you will most likely harm your hardware! If you force flashrom you will get no support if something breaks. On a few mainboards it is possible to enable write access by setting a jumper (see its documentation or the board itself). PROBLEMS, continuing anyway Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L6406E/MX25L6436E" (8192 kB, SPI) at physical address 0xff800000. Reading flash... Transaction error! Read operation failed! FAILED.
