Greetings,
I have an AMD Persimmon dev board. I built coreboot and flashed it successfully; the board was operational. I have attempted to flash the original rom (obtained before flashing coreboot with flashrom -r). When I attempted to flash the original rom, I get the output below.
If possible, could you please refer me to the proper documentation to resolve this issue.
Thank you, Michel Racine.
