ASRock 4CoreDual-SATA2 R2.0: VT8237S flashing

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger]

Hi Jan-Hendrik,

I noticed that you own an ASRock 4CoreDual-SATA2 R2.0 which has the VIA
VT8237S chipset and a LPC/FWH BIOS flash chip.
We flashrom developers are currently trying to cross-check the VT8237S
documentation with real hardware settings, and it would be very helpful
for us if you could mail us (just hit reply-all to send to the
[e-mail] mailing list) the output of the following command
(as root):

lspci -nnvvvxxx

Just in case you've never heard about flashrom: flashrom is a tool to
update your BIOS/EFI/coreboot from inside Linux/*BSD without the need to
use a DOS boot disk.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Carl-Daniel

Hi Carl-Daniel,

sorry for the delay, I was on vacation.

Please find the output attached to the mail.
If I can help you in another way please don't hesitate to contact me again.

Just curious: How did you know that I own the board? My blog entry?

All the best
Henner
