This rayer_spi is "RayeR parallel port programmer" which is external. Internal flashing will not work until someone will reverse engineer the proprietary UEFI update mechanism part of updating EC firmware.
P.S. Meanwhile I'm contributing various patches to coreboot, although they are not discrete GPU-related yet (sorry I'm such a slowpoke!) you may want to take a look, e.g. some of them are for ACPI S3 inspired by HJK https://review.coreboot.org/q/mikeb+mikeb

Hi Nyulos, Have you tried following the KB9012 flashing instructions at DangerousPrototypes wiki? http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Flashing_KB9012_with_Bus_Pirate Although that is for Bus Pirate / CH341A programmers and LA-A091P, should be similar for your Rayer programmer and LA-8241P motherboard. Most importantly, before plugging the power adapter you should unite three grounds:
- GND of laptop's motherboard
- GND of your programmer
- GND of KB9012
Best regards, Mike Banon

Hi!
I'm trying to flash an ENE KB9012QF A3 KBC on LA-8241P motherboard. The problem is flashrom can't detect the internal SPI of it, fails with error.
flashrom p1.0-141-g9cecc7e on Linux 4.15.0-20-generic (x86_64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org
flashrom was built with libpci 3.5.2, GCC 7.3.0, little endian Command line (5 args): ./flashrom -p rayer_spi -c KB9012 (EDI) -V Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns). Initializing rayer_spi programmer Using address 0x378 as I/O base for parallel port access. Using RayeR SPIPGM pinout. The following protocols are supported: SPI. Probing for ENE KB9012 (EDI), 128 kB: edi_chip_probe: reading hwversion failed No EEPROM/flash device found. Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically.
How to get it working? Thanks a lot for help!
I think he's trying to use an internal SPI (maybe he should try "-p internal_spi" instead of "-p rayer_spi"?), so tying grounds probably won't help for that? He might have to use an external programmer instead, so he'd want to tie grounds then!
