Hi recently i'm using flashrom for update a new mainboard,a friend of mine giving me this week,i've used flashrom sometimes but unfortunately i've been checking and the chipset,i try flashrom and it show me this message :
This chipset is marked as untested. If you are using an up-to-date version of flashrom please email a report to flashrom@flashrom.org including a
*Enabling flash write... This chipset is not really supported yet. Guesswork... Please send the output of "flashrom -V" to flashrom@flashrom.org with your board name: flashrom -V as the subject to help us finish support for your chipset. Thanks. OK.
so i'm attaching two file one the verbose exit,and two my mainboard information using dmidecode,and if you receive this email please send me a confirmation or if you need more information just send me a mail .
hi
from my very limited experience i think the chipset usually works just fine. in this case flashrom does not detect the flash chip. this can mean two things: - either we have to toggle an IO pin of the chipset (dependent on the mainboard) to enable the chip at all, or - the chip is not supported yet.
most probably you just need a board enable (http://flashrom.org/Board_Enable) due to the first option.
can you please confirm that this is you board http://www.msi.com/product/mb/K9N6PGM2-V.html#/?div=BIOS please also provide the output of lspci -xxxnnvv (run as root). creating the board enable can take days to months dependent on the motivation of our volunteers.
