P4R8L - Asus Pundit R - READ OK (looks like) ERASE FAILED

[Gianluigi Tiesi]

I've got a barebone pc from asus:
http://www.asus.com/Barebone_PCs/PunditR/

read flash looks ok perhaps dumps are a bit different

I've attached both from flashrom, original from asus in roms.tar.xz
other files:
info.tar.xz => lspci/lsusb/dmesg/dmidecode
read.log.xz => flashrom -r
write.log.xz => flashrom -w

Hope it helps

Regards

Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
A: Why is putting a reply at the top of the message frowned upon?

A non-text attachment roms.tar.xz has been stripped. It is available at
http://paste.flashrom.org/view.php?id=1709

Hi Gianluigi,

the old ATI chipsets are not supported at all and I can't find any
datasheets for them. They may work regardless, I am not sure. In that
case you would just need a small mainboard-specific routine to disable
the write protection (a so-called board enable). If not you are probably
out of luck. Please do not expect a solution soon (or ever).
