hi
It seems like I am missing something :
yes indeed, namely the --programmer parameter ;) you need to add -p internal to the command line.
since r1552 flashrom requires that you select the programmer. the previous behavior of having a default programmer has been disabled, because it could lead to unexpected bricking of devices if one gets too much used to a specific default programmer and then using another version of flashrom which uses another one...
