Dear Flashrom folks,

I got two spare boards with socketed flash chips and hope they can be used also for the ASUS M2V-MX SE which is supported by coreboot [1].
One board is the ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA with a Winbond flash chip W39V040B (512 kB, LPC) [3].
[…]
So the vendor flash chip is SPI but it says the chipset also supports LPC. Is such a socket universal so that I can use the LPC flash chip Winbond W39V040B?
The short answer is: “No!”.
Thanks to Idwer on #flashrom I took a look at the ASUS M2V-MX SE [4] and had to figure out that it has a DIP8 chip [5] which is already physically different from a PLCC32 chip [5] which the Winbond W39V040B is. Very embarrassing.
Thanks,
Paul
