As you have requested, from recently built flashrom in git repo: /sourcefiles/flashrom> # ./flashrom -p internal --output readlog.txt -r backup.bin IMC MBOX: Timeout! Shutting down IMC failed.
FAILED! FATAL ERROR! Error: Programmer initialization failed.
I assume 0.97 <= HEAD (?). Logfile attached. I am going to go ahead and flash the BIOS using some other method. Will try and continue to support your info/test requests in the mean time.
