Sorry to bother you.
Don't worry, you don't bother me at all. If you did, I wouldn't be here to answer ;).
If you can force a read to a similiar chip, can you force a write to using a similar chip. Something like ./flashrom -f -w (filename) -c (chipname) ?? If not, what does forcing a read tell me? I used my board to force a read and several chipname worked.
Well, you can give it a try. But the problem anyway is that your chip still remains write-protected. We need to find out how to disable write-protection for your specific board. If you check the recent mailing list archives (http://www.flashrom.org/pipermail/flashrom/2009-November/thread.html), you will see that there alot of other reports with exactly the same problem. I think Carl-Daniel said, he would be working on that soon.
Also, not sure if this makes a difference but do I really need this library libftdi ? I'm not using any external FT2232SPI flasher.
Don't know either, sorry. Why don't you join the IRC-channel #flashrom on FreeNode, it's really worth to come by, alot of experts are on there.
Thanks again for your time.
You're welcome.
Could you provide the output of lspci, superiotool and flashrom as I suggested and post it to the mailing list?
Adrian
