Writes have been disabled for safety reasons because the presence of the IMC was detected and it could interfere with accessing flash memory. Flashrom will try to disable it temporarily but even then this might not be safe: when it is reenabled and after a reboot it expects to find working code in the flash and it is unpredictable what happens if there is none. To be safe make sure that there is a working IMC firmware at the right location in the image you intend to write and do not attempt to erase. You can enforce write support with the amd_imc_force programmer option. IMC SIO is at 0x4e. IMC MBOX is at 0x3e. IMC MBOX: Timeout! Shutting down IMC failed. ROM strap override is not active FAILED!
