I have the 512KB bios file, and was trying to program it with flashrom and buspirate. <br>Looks like one version of flashrom says &quot;missing libftdi.dll&quot; while another version says programmer buspirate_spi not supported.<br>



Can you give me link of any latest version. I have tried to copy the libftdi.dll into the flashrom directory, also tried &#39;regsrv32 libftdi.dll&#39; in a command-box (where regsrv32 looks to be absent in Windows 7)<br>

<br>One more thing, when I
 hooked up the SPI chip to buspirate, if I use terminal mode of 
buspirate and set correct mode, then if I try to read some block using 
CS enables, I get 0x00 and if I keep CS disabled I get 0xFF. I&#39;ve tried 
to write anything with both  CS enabled and disabled. But values are read as above.<br>Maybe I&#39;ve settled up wrong mode while trying to access EEPROM from buspirate terminal mode. . I&#39;ve worked with mode 5 spi, 125khz, Clock polarity:Idle low , Output clock edge:Active to idle, Input sample phase:middle, Output mode: Normal (H=3.3V, L=GND), W(power supplies on). <br>

I didn&#39;t need to do so because for flashing my BIOS chip, I am trying to use flashrom.<br>This is the fresh chip I bought for recovery. <a href="http://in.rsdelivers.com/product/amic-technology/a25l040m-f/spi-flash-4mb-sop8-3v-4mx1/0573498.asp">http://in.rsdelivers.com/product/amic-technology/a25l040m-f/spi-flash-4mb-sop8-3v-4mx1/0573498.asp</a><br>

Note: The BIOS chips is of my tablet, and not PC, so no problem if it takes few days to resolve issues and program it. It isn&#39;t much serious case when someone corrupts motherboard&#39;s BIOS. I know flashrom&#39;s support is free and takes few hours to get reply. It&#39;s not an issue in my case. <br>
