Hello Marco,
If I have found the correct schematic* the SPI flash is connected directly to the Intel PCH, and the EC is a IT8586E, so the flash should not be shared.
You can bypass the laptop warning by running the flashrom with -p internal:laptop=force_I_want_a_brickoptions. ME will most likely trick you.
Read operation should not cause any problems, but I cannot guarantee anything. You have been warned!
*Intel Haswell Processor with DDRIII + Lynx point PCH nVIDIA N14P GT + 2nd VGA N14P GT
Regards, Miklos

Hi, I downloaded your software because I would dump my BIOS firmware image. I tried to use it using the internal programmer but the software replied me with: "WARNING! You seem to be running flashrom on an unsupported laptop. Laptops, notebooks and netbooks are difficult to support and we recommend to use the vendor flashing utility. The embedded controller (EC) in these machines often interacts badly with flashing. See the manpage and http://www.flashrom.org/Laptops for details.
If flash is shared with the EC, erase is guaranteed to brick your laptop and write may brick your laptop. Read and probe may irritate your EC and cause fan failure, backlight failure and sudden poweroff. You have been warned." I'm on a Lenovo Y510P and I'm running Ubuntu 15.10. How I have to configure your software to dump my BIOS image? I've already tried to contact someone on IRC channel but nobody replied me.
Best regards Marco Mancini
