Macronix MX25U6435F: J1900-D3V) successfully flashed

[Guillermo von Hünefeld]

Hallo,
today I used your tool to flash a MX25U6435F (Main BIOS of my Gigabyte J1900-D3V), which used to brocken with an updated BIOS (J190ND3V.F4). All "Probe", "Read", "Erease" and "Write" were successful.  Maybe someone could update the "Supported hardware" entry. Thanks for building the tool. Regards.

Hi Guillermo!

I have this board too, see my original report at

http://www.flashrom.org/pipermail/flashrom/2014-December/013078.html

It's good to hear that write worked, I had not tested that yet (since
I am still working on setting up an external ROM reader/writer to make
backups). I guess since yours was broken anyway there was no risk for
you :) Thanks for confirming!
Now we just need to try coreboot...

Stefan, (or whoever else might commit Guillermo's result)

Note Gigabyte is currently selling 3 similar board models:

GA-J1900N-D3V (rev. 1.x)

GA-J1900N-D2H (rev. 1.1)
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5049#sp

GA-J1900M-D2P (rev. 1.1)
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5143#sp

(and a whole set of J1800 based ones too)

Thanks,

Hello Guillermo,

thanks for your report!
I have added your board and flash chip to our list of supported hardware
and will commit that later together with other small changes.
If possible, please always include a (verbose) log with such reports
so that we can verify them and also look for oddities that might be
interesting for our future work, thanks.
