Hello,
I have an ASUS P5LD2-VM, and I try to update bios, first with flashrom v0.9.2-r1028 ( http://paste.flashrom.org/view.php?id=489 ) then with 0.9.3 ( http://paste.flashrom.org/view.php?id=490 also, the ROM is at http://paste.flashrom.org/uploads/491.bin ) but:
Writing flash chip... Erasing flash chip... Looking at blockwise erase function 0... trying... 0x000000-0x000fff, 0x001000-0x001fff, 0x002000-0x002fff, 0x003000-0xff, 0x004000-0x004fff, 0x005000-0x005fff, ERASE FAILED at 0x00005760! Expected=0xff, Read=0x50, failed byte count from 0x00005000-0x00005fff: 0x87a ERASE FAILED!
I rebooted and BIOS was ok (I flashing with asus afudos utility). Now, I will replace moterhboard with the new one but, I collect some information from system, maybe helps you to improve flashrom.
I ran all commands from http://www.flashrom.org/Board_Testing_HOWTO
flashrom -V (flashrom.log) lspci -nnvvxxx (lspci.log) superiotool -deV (superiotool.log)
also, I ran:
biosdecode (biosdecode.log) hwinfo --bios (hwinfo-bios.log) dmidecode --type bios (dmidecode-bios.log) lshw (lshw.log)
All results are in attached files.
I ran: flashrom 0.9.2 (flashrom-w.log), 0.9.3 (flashrom-093.log) and svn version (flashrom-svn.log, this give me a segmentation fault)
Also, I attached original-1303.rom wich is original bios (flashrom -r) and new bios P5LD2-VM-1401.rom (wich give me error when try to write).
I hope that this info is enough for improve your great tool.
