Dear Flahsrom representant,
hello!
I am a Bios engineer at BULL, a major european server and supercomputer company «www.bull.com » .
First of all, I would like to thank you for the great job you are doing, we use your utility a lot.
nice to hear that, thank you. is it offered to your customers too?
I would like to know if you are planning to support the Bios SPI flash flashing on the Intel SandyBridge architecture, especially the Intel 6 series chipset/C200/Patsburg platform controller hub?
the spi interface of the 6 series chipset is very similar to the previous ones and as long as there is no locking in place (i am talking about PR0-PR4 and related "security" stuff) it may already work, have you tried it?
in case of locking in place (that might be a requirement in nowadays chipsets due to the requirement of using the ME) flashrom would not work yet. i am working on this problem within the scope of my google summer of code project which should be completed by the end of summer. dont hold your breath though please ;)
