Hi,
first I want to thank you for your great work. I would like to use flashrom, to try coreboot.
But I have trouble to use flashrom with a "Dell Optiplex" mainboard:
-- snip --
flashrom -r flash-file flashrom v0.9.2-r1141 on Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (x86_64), built with libpci 3.1.7, GCC 4.4.5 20100728 (prerelease), little endian flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org
Calibrating delay loop... OK. No coreboot table found. Found chipset "Intel ICH8/ICH8R", enabling flash write... tried to set 0xdc to 0x3 on ICH8/ICH8R failed (WARNING ONLY) WARNING: SPI Configuration Lockdown activated. FAILED! This chipset supports the following protocols: FWH,SPI. Found chip "Spansion S25FL008A" (1024 KB, SPI) at physical address 0xfff00000. ich_spi_send_command: Internal command size error for opcode 0xab, got writecnt=4, want =1 Reading flash... Read operation failed! FAILED.
-- snap --
I have used the flashrom version from debian squeeze. So I thought: "I should use a newer version" . But when I try to download it from:
http://www.flashrom.org/Downloads
I have got a page with an error: "Status Code: 404"
So I try to open a bug on: http://www.flashrom.org/trac/flashrom/newticket
I have spend realy time to put in the right text, but when I pressed "Create Ticket" the Web Page said somethink like, it would be junk and will be discarded, so I have done this work for nothing.
So I hope, someone will fix this 3 reported bugs:
* Problem with flashrom on a Dell Optiplex * Not working download link. * Not working Issue Tracker (if it should not be used by users, the link to report bugs should be hidden for them)
Best Regards Sven Anders
