Greetings,

 

I have an AMD Persimmon dev board. I built coreboot and flashed it successfully; the board was operational.

I have attempted to flash the original rom (obtained before flashing coreboot with flashrom –r).

When I attempted to flash the original rom, I get the output below.

 

If possible, could you please refer me to the proper documentation to resolve this issue.

 

Thank you,

Michel Racine.
