Dear Flashrom folks,
I tested the ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA with an Nvidia MCP61 chipset. The output says, that the chipset is not fully supported so please tell me what I have to consider when testing writing.
$ flashrom -V -r am2nf6g-vsta.bin […] DMI string system-manufacturer: "To Be Filled By O.E.M." DMI string system-product-name: "To Be Filled By O.E.M."

This chipset is marked as untested. If you are using an up-to-date version of flashrom please email a report to flashrom@flashrom.org including a verbose (-V) log. Thank you! Enabling flash write...

MCP SPI BAR is valid, but chipset apparently doesn't have SPI enabled. 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. The following protocols are supported: LPC. […]
Reading seems to work. The difference between the read image to the downloaded file (1.20) from the ASRock [2] is minimal according to `bsdiff`.

I found a Wiki page »MCP SPI support« [3] in the Wiki but the patch [4] is already committed so that tested writing and erasing and it worked without problems.

Please find the outputs asked for on the Wiki page [3] attached.
The BIOS was upgraded to version 2.30 [2] and the board rebooted fine. As expected the defaults had to be loaded due to the CMOS error.
Thanks,
Paul

Hello Paul,
thanks for your patch. I have integrated it into my collection of tested stuff patches and will commit it later. I have also marked the chipset as tested.
