Hello ...
I am very impressed with flashrom. I just used it on a motherboard based on the Lynnfield 3420 chipset and it worked very well and is much faster than the AMI supplied equivalent.
I have one problem which is that the very first boot after flashing the bios rom image, the bios complains about a CMOS checksum error and patiently waits for some input. I am assuming others have been here before. What I did next was enter the bios menu and tell it to save changes (none made). All boots after this no longer complain about the CMOS checksum.
The reason flashrom is interesting to us (aside from not being restricted by AMI) is for unattended use in customer upgrade situations. Having any upgrade path require a human to type something is a bit of a problem.
Any helpful hints will be greatly appreciated.
Last but not least, thank you to all of you whole have put a lot of effort into this tool for use by coreboot and others. This really validates why open source is needed in the first place.
