Hi
Any idea what is going wrong or what can I do to get flashrom to work?
No ideas what is going wrong?
Another question is: How I select the Bay Trail Device?
flashrom -VVV -p internal -c "Bay Trail" -r bios.txt Error: Unknown chip 'Bay Trail' specified.
I have tried Linux 3.14 and 3.18 with fashrom 0.98-r1888
The complete output (flashrom -VVV -p internal -r b.txt) was:

You seem to be running flashrom on an unsupported laptop. Laptops, notebooks and netbooks are difficult to support and we recommend to use the vendor flashing utility. The embedded controller (EC) in these machines often interacts badly with flashing. See the manpage and http://www.flashrom.org/Laptops for details.
If flash is shared with the EC, erase is guaranteed to brick your laptop and write may brick your laptop. Read and probe may irritate your EC and cause fan failure, backlight failure and sudden poweroff. You have been warned. ======================================================================== Aborting. Error: Programmer initialization failed.
Hello again!
The man page tells you how to proceed in this case. You can not "select" the chipset with the -c parameter but only the flash chip. All of that is documented...
