This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI.

Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks.

If you have a backup of your old BIOS contents (created with flashrom
-r), please run 'flashrom -v oldbackup.bin' and if it says 'VERIFIED'
nothing changed and it should be safe to reboot.

Please mail the output of 'flashrom -V', 'lspci -nnvvvxxx', 'superiotool
-deV' (all commands as root), the exact name of your board (including
revision, if there are multiple revisions), and a link to the  official
BIOS download to this mailing list.

It looks like your BIOS is an AMI bios. Please send privately to me
([e-mail]) the file created by
  dd if=/dev/mem bs=64k count=1 skip=15 of=fseg.bin
to let me analyze it to find out what code your board needs to enable
write access to the flash chip.
