I'm in dire need te reflash a couple of BIOS chips. Unfotunately, all my boards which I used to use for this purpose are rebellign against me. I have a couple of Kabinis ( Athlon 5370) on cheap AM1 boards and have noticed that "flashrom -p internal" fails on each one with "Found chipset AMD FCH" "Enabling flash write... ERROR: State of SpiAccesMacRomEn or SpiHostAccessRomEn prohibits full access" At first, I thot that I might have miscompiled something in the kernel or that flashrom doesn't jive with my Hardened Gentoo or something like that. So I used Kali Linux and burned it toUSB stick ( it has flasrom packaged). With the exactly the same end result. I've tried git version and versions 0.98 and 0.99. Older one ( 0.96 ?) compained that it doesn't know Kabini's chipset... THis HW used to work with flashrom. What changed ?

Hi, possibly a firmware update that set one of the two bits mentioned by flashrom's output. Can you please post a complete verbose log file (e.g. by adding "-o logfile.txt" to the command line)? -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner

By the way: please check if your AM1 boards support the coreboot open source BIOS (sister project of flashrom), that could significantly increase the value of your AM1 boards. On Fri, Oct 5, 2018 at 4:21 PM Branko Badrljica <brankob@s5tehnika.net> wrote:

Looks like it would generate a different error, but you might need iomem=relaxed in the kernel options.
