Just a quick note to report success in flashing my bios using flashrom.
Mainboard: Supermicro X5DP8-G2 Chipset: Intel E7501 (Intel ICH3-S) Flash Chip (reported by flashrom): Intel 82802AB
I had to cut the rom to the correct size using dd if=ORIGNAL.ROM of=new.rom bs=512k count=1
I did a -r and then a -w, no errors. No other options were used. The bios complained about a wrong CMOS checksum after reboot so it loaded default settings.
Regards,
Gerard
