Re: [flashrom] VIA VT6421A

[Magyar Szabolcs]

Hello Stefan,

No problem, I am very glad of it! :)

Yes, I am the owner of this controller, so I'll try to send you the 
informations that you need on the next week...

Thanks your hard work, and I'll be waiting for the news about it!

Best regards,
Szabolcs

Hello Szabolcs and thanks for your report!

Sorry that it took so long, but i am now trying to make the atavia
programmer working on all possible boards. As you found out it works on
yours, but that is actually a coincident. The BAR thingy is dealt with
and was just a cosmetic error, but there is another problem which was
not visible to you.

Do you still own that controller?

If so could you please post...
- the output of lspci -nnvvvxxx (run as root)
- the vendor and model name of the card
- the revision number of the VT6421A chip (below the "VT6421A" string)
  and the country noted on the right.

Thanks!
