Hello - thanks for the great effort on flashrom. My particular board doesn't flash. Here are the particulars. Ubuntu 12.04, if that matters. 0.9.6.1 failed too... gordy@macoushla:~/Downloads/7252v58$ sudo flashrom flashrom v0.9.5.2-r1517 on Linux 3.2.0-34-generic-pae (i686), built with libpci 3.1.8, GCC 4.6.3, little endian flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chipset "NVIDIA MCP51". Enabling flash write... OK. Found Winbond flash chip "W39V040B" (512 kB, LPC) at physical address 0xfff80000. Found Winbond flash chip "W39V040FB" (512 kB, FWH) at physical address 0xfff80000. Multiple flash chips were detected: "W39V040B", "W39V040FB" Please specify which chip to use with the -c <chipname> option. gordy@macoushla:~/Downloads/7252v58$ sudo flashrom -w A7252NMS.580 -c W39V040B flashrom v0.9.5.2-r1517 on Linux 3.2.0-34-generic-pae (i686), built with libpci 3.1.8, GCC 4.6.3, little endian flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org Calibrating delay loop...

Writing to the flash chip apparently didn't do anything. This means we have to add special support for your board, programmer or flash chip.
