Thanks for the log. However, I am not entirely sure why it was recommended to you to send it in without further explanation. Did you try to write to the flash?
Sorry about that, thought I had included the command I was running. I was just running the probe on it to figure out if I was going to be able to read and write to flash, then it said to run it verbosely and submit it. `flashrom -p internal:pci=01:00.0`
I'm currently evaluating iPXE as a seeding method to deploy and redeploy a large number of systems, trying to get it into the Option ROM space of the onboard NIC. Mostly Supermicro servers, some Dells, some Ciscos, I think a couple Huaweis, and all Intel NICs. I know I'll need to test and eval each unique motherboard and NIC card for safety. I started out trying flashrom before the Intel tools mostly because all the environments are Ubuntu, and I haven't quite figured out how to convert the image file iPXE generates to the .flb format Intel wants.
