Hi,
with 0.9.5.2 it was possible to simply upgrade my boards BIOS:
flashrom v0.9.5.2-r1515 on FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE (amd64), built with libpci 3.1.10, GCC 4.2.1 20070831 patched [FreeBSD], little endian flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org
Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chipset "AMD SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0". Enabling flash write... OK. Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q32" (4096 kB, SPI) at physical address 0xffc00000. Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling coreboot-related checks. Reading old flash chip contents... done. Erasing and writing flash chip... Erase/write done. Verifying flash... VERIFIED.
It looks like 0.9.6.1 is no longer able to upgrade the BIOS:
# flashrom -w E35M1-M-ASUS-1502.ROM flashrom v0.9.6.1-r1564 on FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE (amd64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org
