Hello all,
I broke my motherboard and flashrom would help me save 300$. I need to flash the BIOS chip and unfortunately, only the older version of the chip seems to be supported, so I would need to patch support in.
The chip is the Winbond W25X40CL, which appears to be an upgrade over the W25X40 that flashrom supports. However, when hooking it up, the latter is detected and only the first 500K are available.
I would need some guidance on what to do next. Looking through the gerrit I see the patches for new chip support add to flashchips.c and include/flashchips.h.
Is there some documentation on what the fields represent in there so that I am not plugging randomly ?
How does the process work when recognizing chips ? Would adding this chip create a conflict with its predecessor ?
Thanks,
JB
