Hi,
I just checked out the trunk from svn, since it supports the Kabini SPI bus, but I'm unable to flash the BIOS. I see the following message when I run it as:
'flashrom -p internal:laptop=force_I_want_a_brick -w myimage.bin'
"Warning: Chip content is identical to the requested image."
Well... above is pretty much everything to say unless you know your image differs from the chip contents. Why do you think there is anything wrong?
Reading the contents back, I get a different binary than what I flash in, about 192k into the image.
Hm... the code that produces the warning above does almost the same as a manual read and compare... does the read work reliably (e.g. do files read always have the same md5sum)?
Yeah, I tried twice, before and after flashing the new image, and both reads are identical. I could chock it up to a potentially bad read if the files differed from the flashed rom on a block boundary, but they differ at 192k+89 bytes, so I'm pretty sure it's just not writing the image.
