Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns). Found chipset "Intel Z87". Enabling flash write... Warning: BIOS region SMM protection is enabled! Warning: Setting Bios Control at 0xdc from 0x2a to 0x09 failed. New value is 0x2a. SPI Configuration is locked down. FREG0: Flash Descriptor region (0x00000000-0x00000fff) is read-only. FREG2: Management Engine region (0x00001000-0x0017ffff) is locked. Not all flash regions are freely accessible by flashrom. This is most likely due to an active ME. Please see https://flashrom.org/ME for details. At least some flash regions are read protected. You have to use a flash layout and include only accessible regions. For write operations, you'll additionally need the --noverify-all switch. See manpage for more details. OK.
