Hello. First of all, thank you for flashrom. I have an ECS k7vta3 mobo with VT8233A southbridge.
It looks like your board is supported: http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2009-June/050002.html http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2009-June/050004.html
Note that there seem to be several PCB revisions: v3.1, v5.0, v6.0, v8.0: http://www.google.nl/search?&q=site:ecs.com.tw+ECS+k7vta3
# flashrom -r bios.old flashrom v0.9.4-r1394 on Linux 3.2.0-1-686-pae (i686), built with libpci 3.1.7, GCC 4.6.1, little endian flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org
Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chipset "VIA VT8233A". Enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI. Found PMC flash chip "Pm29F002T" (256 kB, Parallel) at physical address 0xfffc0000. === This flash part has status UNTESTED for operations: WRITE The test status of this chip may have been updated in the latest development version of flashrom. If you are running the latest development version, please email a report to flashrom@flashrom.org if any of the above operations work correctly for you with this flash part. Please include the flashrom output with the additional -V option for all operations you tested (-V, -Vr, -Vw, -VE), and mention which mainboard or programmer you tested. Please mention your board in the subject line. Thanks for your help!
I have the latest BIOS (k7vta330d.exe) here. To write it I would simply run
# flashrom -wv k7vta330d.exe
right?
No: 1) that file isn't a BIOS file and 2) the filesize won't match the chip's size. Unzip that .exe file and write "K7V330D.BIN" instead. The "-v" parameter is for verifying chip content against files (on any filesystem).
Should I add any -V just in case too?
Adding "-V" and saving the output would be helpful, yes.
