Just writing in to let you know that the Gigabyte P55A-UD4 seems to work fine.
hello!
Hi!
there are two revisions of your motherboard according to gigabyte. namely rev 1.0 http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3239#sp and rev 2.0 http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3436#sp
the only difference visible on that pages is the ethernet controller and small layout changes. i dont think those differences matter for flashrom at all, but just for the record: which revision do you have?
I wasn't sure either, so I downloaded both, and it turns out they have the same bios image.
But since you asked, I had another look. It's a bit hard to say. The box says rev 1.0, but looking at the images, I think it's right.
- Mine has the "EuP Ready" text in the corner near the DIMM slots,
which only appears on the rev 2 picture.
- I do not have the additional text near the dolby logo on the rev 2 picture.
- The cap near the USB header (to the left of the dolby logo, at the
edge) is in the position in the rev 1 picture.
- The ethernet stuff looks more like the rev 1 pic. The "NEC" text is missing, but that cap behind the audio header is missing, like in the 1.0 pic.
Weird. Either way, like you said, hopefully it doesn't matter.
probably rev 1.0. the prints are much easier to change than the electrical layout. ill make a note.
when did you read out the other file: before or after rebooting?
I think it was after rebooting. Anyway, I tried it now, (several reboots later), and the result is the same as the image I read back then. (ie not quite matching the one I wrote)
i am not sure but i think this is quite normal. it probably saved some settings at the first boot in there. i wont look into it in detail, because it works anyway and it's implausible that flashrom is the cause (and i dont have the time to do it :)
