Hey folks, I've tested compatibility of this tool with my mainboard today.
Boardname: ASRock TRX40 Creator Vendor website: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/TRX40%20Creator/#Specification Flash-chip: Winbond 25Q128FWSQ - 16MBSuperI/O: nuvoTon NCT6683D-T
For the folks interested - A webpage with amazingly detailed photos of that mainboard, including chips and whatnot: https://news.xfastest.com/review/review-03/72941/asrock-trx40-creator-review... Note that this page is currently down for me, but you can still access it via the wayback machine.
Commands ran: sudo flashrom/flashrom -r biosdump.bin -p internal
# Note that TRX4CTR1.70 is the rom file that's freely downloadable from ASRock's website. binwalk -W -i TRX4CTR1.70 biosdump.bin > binwalk_diff.txt # Since I'm not really fond of firmware file layouts yet, somebody who's smarter than me might want to verify whether # the differences are mainly due to different bios configs and hardware I've added into my system,# or if some firmware section got omitted on read. more binwalk_diff.txt | grep 0x0 | wc -l # This command showed '17430'. Since binwalk shows 16 bytes per line, there should be about 34kb of differences in binary.
# Flashed back the official rom, since I don't really trust the read one. sudo flashrom/flashrom -p internal -w TRX4CTR1.70
# The output from that is in the attached file. sudo flashrom/flashrom -p internal -V lspci -nnvvxxxsuperiotool -deV
Flashing the machine with the stock rom did work as well!
