Hello Experts,

I have compiled the latest flashrom 0-9.5 source and tried to update the bios in the flash on our board, but I see the board gets hanged after executing the flashrom commands. But I don’t see these errors in the reference board.

 

Please see below logs:

root@amc:~# flashrom

In the internal.c file I have negated the force_laptop variable in the if() condition,also commented the dmi_init(), compiled and used the command flashrom to program the bios.

 

Can you please let me know if this is a hardware issue or the flashrom utility issue.

 

Thanks for the help,

Raghu
