Hello,

I might have found a bug in flashrom that is fixed in the attached
patch and that might make flashrom work on your board. You need to
apply it to the current development version cf.
http://flashrom.org/Downloads#Installation_from_source
Please do not try to erase or write yet but reply with a verbose log of
reading the hopefully found flash chip, thanks.

Dear Stefan, its almost good. The identifying is sucessful, but the read still broken, look at the attachments.I was used W25Q64s before, R/W operations were supported at my older FM1 board(A75M Pro4). MfG

Hi,

you are leaving out the interesting parts in your logs (namely the
error messages printed to stderr ;)
You can create complete logs by using the -o logfile.txt option of
flashrom.

Haha sorry :) Seems like the SuperIO is not supported. News logs are attached. Thanks

No, actually that's not the problem but that something else is
accessing the SPI interface of the chipset (just like the message
says). I don't have a solution for that currently, sorry.

Many times in the last weeks, i was unable to in-circuit flash under Arch.However in the past i could flash with, but under Xubuntu. In the past months i was migrated many of my systems to arch.Can it be a kernel- or distroproblem?
