I'm sure that, if your motherboard has a single flash chip or you have removed this chip and plugged it into a programmer, flashrom -r should backup the whole contents of a chip regardless of its' internal memory map. But I don't know if this is true for all the possible cases for the boards with two flash chips (one for BIOS and another for ME) - i.e. if you're trying to read the contents "internally" (using a flashrom's internal mode). Hopefully someone could clarify.

Hi there- I'm looking at swapping out the physical flash chip on my machine for a larger capacity one, so I wanted to get a quick sanity check:
Does a flashrom -r pick up all the various regions in the chip, or does it only go after the BIOS region if I don't specify a layout file?
I.e if I do a flashrom -r on the old chip then flashrom -w on the new one, will I get an identical copy of the entire thing?
Thanks and apologies if this can be found in the documentation, please feel free to point me there instead.
