What's different between this time now and the last time were flashrom
could not shutdown the IMC? Was the hardware setup equal or did
something change? Apparently it worked as it should this time, so this
does not help us debug any issue if there is one.

I care because maybe there were other problems with applying the
changes or even something more severe that influence the testing.

AMD - SP5100 - take SPI ownership (1/2)

[Racine, Michel]

Hi Stefan,

Here's how I applied the path to the latest source. In the flashrom directory, I copied the patch file, and simply did: patch < a.patch
It completed without complaints.
I then do a make clean, then a make.

Unfortunately, I cannot be sure about why it failed yesterday. I may have made a mistake, and turned off the emulator from the PC before running flashrom. That's why I retried today, and flashrom was able to access the emulator as expected.

Other thoughts?

Thanks,
Michel.
