Hi all,
New subscriber.
The Supermicro X7SPA-HF board is listed as specifically allowing BIOS updates using flashrom.
I can confirm that the Supermicro X7SPA-H board (which is similar but not identical) also works with flashrom. I used flashrom to update the BIOS from 1.2a to 1.2b earlier this week.
I've also used it to update my PC Engines APU single-board computers, but this compatibility is already noted and in fact sanctioned by PC Engines as the best way of doing the coreboot update on this platform.
Thanks! I'll be watching with interest.
Jim
