Dear Sir,
My board (AMD Geode LX700) using W39V040FC for BIOS. I check out the latest version of flashrom which support W39V040FC now. And i have two different BIOS binary, one is the same as current chip burned, the other is different. now i use flashrom to write binary to chip as follow:
1、using the same bin as chip burned # flashrom -Vw bios_org.bin -c W39V040FC

2、using the different bin # flashrom -Vw bios_new.bin -c W39V040FC

Why can't write a new binary to the chip? Can you help me and show me how to do? Thanks a lot !!
