# flashrom -w CrosshairIV-Extreme-ASUS-0502.ROM flashrom v0.9.4-r1395 on Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (x86_64), built with libpci 3.1.7, GCC 4.4.5, little endian flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org
Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chipset "AMD SB700/SB710/SB750/SB850". Enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: LPC, FWH, SPI. Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q16" (2048 kB, SPI) at physical address 0xffe00000. Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling coreboot-related checks. Reading old flash chip contents... done. Erasing and writing flash chip... Erase/write done. Verifying flash... VERIFIED.
I tried writing again after erasing, this just works :) You can add the board to the list I think ;)
done (locally), thanks!
