Flashrom Sucess on GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS MASTER mainboard

[melvyn2]

I was successfully able to flash OEM and modified firmwares using the internal programmer of the GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS MASTER mainboard. I was also able to consistently read and verify firmware from the mainboard. Attached is a verbose log of the programmer probe.

Additionally, I was able to access both chips provided from GIGABYTE's DualBIOS feature with a 1-line patch, enabling this board's specific ITE Super I/O chip to be probed:
