Re: [flashrom] Update BIOS fail

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger]

Hi Barry,

it seems you're using a very old flashrom version. Could you please
retry with latest flashrom or at least version 0.9.4? That might fix the
issue you're seeing.

That flash chip is marked as supported in latest flashrom.

Update BIOS fail

[Barry Krauter]

Hi Carl-Daniel

I got the 9.1 version from Ubuntu Synaptic.

I went to your website and downloaded flashrom-0.9.4.tar.bz2. I copied file
to /home/barry

in Terminal I did $ tar jxf /home/barry/flashrom-0.9.4.tar.bz2

This created /home/barry/flashrom-0.9.4 directory

I then did

cd /home/barry/flashrom-0.9.4

then

# ./configure
# make
# make install

These commands executed with no messages.

When i do command flashrom -R I still see version 9.1.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Barry
