SST25VF016B flash chip is not respondin in INTEL EP80579 PROCESSOR using Flashrom utility

[sougata barik]

Hi,

I am unable to use flashrom utility in my system. I am using EP80579
processor by Intel ans having one flashchip SST25VF061B which is
connected to the processor by SPI interface.

You are using a very old flashrom version. Please use at least 0.9.1
(this will give better error messages) or latest code from svn (this
might will tell you exactly what's wrong).

This message means that probing for most chips is not possible because
the BIOS has forbidden the classic probe command.

Interesting. I wonder whether these messages appear even with latest
flashrom from svn.

Try very latest flashrom from svn. I think it will not find your chip,
but "flashrom -V" will tell us if there is a chance to get it working
for you.
