In case this board isn't missing for a particular reason, you may want to add it as unsupported. The problem is its usage of NVIDIA MCP65. I reported the output a while ago, but here again the short form:
$ sudo ./flashrom flashrom v0.9.3-r1370 on Linux 2.6.39.3 (x86_64), built with libpci 3.1.7, \ GCC 4.5.1 20101208 [gcc-4_5-branch revision 167585], little endian flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org
Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chipset "NVIDIA MCP65", enabling flash write... \ This chipset is not really supported yet. Guesswork... SPI on this chipset is WIP. Write is unsupported! Mapping NVIDIA MCP6x SPI at 0xfec80000, unaligned size 0x544. Please send the output of "flashrom -V" to flashrom@flashrom.org with your board name: flashrom -V as the subject to help us finish support for your chipset. Thanks. OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: SPI. Found chip "Winbond W25X80" (1024 kB, SPI) at physical address 0xfff00000. No operations were specified.

unfortunately we cannot merge your patch, since it is missing a Signed-off-by line required by the development guidelines [1].
The problem is its usage of NVIDIA MCP65.
Could you try other operations? Do you have means to recover? Is reading the flash chip content also failing?
I reported the output a while ago,
could please you add a link your message in the archive and next time reply to you message, so that the threading connects to your old message.
but here again the short form:
Thank you!

Hey,

Ah. You are still using legacy SVN, so I assumed the project qualifies as old-school and doesn't follow these modern practices. (No, I didn't read the guidelines. :-)
Could you try other operations?
Reading works (the output looks convincing, when compared to the bios images by MSI). Verifying works. I didn't try erasing/writing, as this is my main machine and I didn't want to take any risks. But I could be talked into trying ...
could please you add a link your message in the archive
This original message does no longer seem relevant. The output has changed since then. But other people reported the output for this board a few times. Want a new report?

Ah. You are still using legacy SVN,
unfortunately. But this is for a separate thread. `git svn` comes to the rescue a little bit.

Did you put your Signed-off-by line somewhere? You only have to reply to your patch with your Signed-off-by line. Other developers will comment what else is needed.

Great!

I let the developers answer that.

I saw that you sent one already for `flashrom -V` [1].
Thanks,

hi,
that was already done (locally) and will be committed together with other such tiny bits.
