Hello,
I was not capable to flash (in fact I only try to read for the moment) my SATABIOS Ctrl (Silicon Image 3112) on a Abit NF7-S (rev 2.0) ( http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php?pMODEL_NAM... )
Here is the log :

Hello,
I was not capable to flash (in fact I only try to read for the moment) my SATABIOS Ctrl (Silicon Image 3112) on a Abit NF7-S (rev 2.0)
Flashfrom can't flash controllers on motherboard [1] because they don't have own flashchip like standalone sata controllers [2].

OK, thank you for the explanation !

If you want to update the SATABIOS for onboard controllers, you have to do this by 'upgrading' the motherboard BIOS.
Get the firmware package for the SiI3112 controller, there should be a rom for onboard controllers included. Then get the bios image for your motherboard. You can use the original rom which you can get via 'flashrom -r original.bin'. Then remove the original firmware for the controllers included in the motherboard firmware, and import the latest SiI firmware. After that you can use flashrom to write the modified bios image.

How can I do that ? Is there some documentation somewhere ?

Try to flash bios image from this link. http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/77909774/m/348005721041

Thanks for the useful link, but I will don't flash since "flashrom --verify" doesn't match with the current bios.

And just for the archive: The cheapest silicon image controllers are shipped with OTP EPROMs that need high voltage programming. These chips are not detected by flashrom and can not be programmed nor erased in system. So if upgrading of a standalone controller fails, first check the type number of the chip (below the sticker). If it starts with 27, the chip is not upgradable at all, neither with flashrom nor with Silicon Image's dedicated tool.
