Hi,
I've got a backup of the bios from qflash saved under F3QFLASH.BIN. After that I rebooted and typed flashrom -r flashrom.bin. Now the diff looks even better. Yesterday I made a mistake by comparing the F2-version of the BIOS with the F3 version. The qflash menue shows also the name of the chip "MX25L8005".
ls -l flashrom.bin F3QFLASH.BIN; xxd flashrom.bin >1; xxd F3QFLASH.BIN
2; diff -u 1 2|diffstat
-rwx------ 1 user user 1048576 2009-07-29 00:29 F3QFLASH.BIN -rwx------ 1 user user 1048576 2009-07-29 00:33 flashrom.bin 2 | 68 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------------- 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-)
Now I'm trying to flashrom -wv F3QFLASH.BIN two operations are not supported
But with flashrom -w F3QFLASH.BIN flashrom v0.9.0-r667 No coreboot table found. Found chipset "Intel ICH10R", enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: LPC,FWH,SPI. Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chip "Macronix MX25L8005" (1024 KB, SPI) at physical address 0xfff00000. Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks. Writing flash chip... Programming page:
COMPLETE. Verifying flash... VERIFIED.
Got it, Thanks for this great program. Now Gigabyte EG45M-UD2H could also be put onto the supported mb list?
Best Regards Joachim

Hi,
output for EG45M-UD2H attached.
I was trying to read from the flash:
sudo flashrom -r backup.bin flashrom v0.9.0-r667 No coreboot table found. Found chipset "Intel ICH10R", enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: LPC,FWH,SPI. (Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chip "Macronix MX25L8005" (1024 KB, SPI) at physical address 0xfff00000. Reading flash... done.
But the output doesn't match with the vendor supplied biosfile. Maybe I'll backup the BIOS from a windows tool, and check, if these are the same. Or the dualbios is the culprit of this behaviour.

Hi Joachim,
thanks for your reports.
Could you please rerun latest flashrom compiled from subversion (revision 667) on all these boards and mail the output to flashrom@flashrom.org Thanks!
