Hello,
I tried out flashrom on one of my machines and it asked me to send a verbose log here, since my mainboard isn't listed on the supported hardware page.
The non-verbose log errors with "FREG4: WARNING: Platform Data region is locked" and the chipset is Intel ICH8DO. The mainboard is this one:

Hello,
I tried out flashrom on one of my machines and it asked me to send a verbose log here, since my mainboard isn't listed on the supported hardware page.
The non-verbose log errors with "FREG4: WARNING: Platform Data region is locked" and the chipset is Intel ICH8DO. The mainboard is this one:
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5BVM_DO
Hello Justin,
i think this is actually a false positive: FREG4 is all zeroes and should be ignored. This is not specified in public documentation by Intel, but i am quite sure. We had a similar case (newer Intel chipset though) a few months ago. When using the ich_spi_force parameter (please look at the manpage for details, i dont want to spoil how to do it to not encourage others to try without reading the details) flashrom should work on your board. Please be aware that MAC addresses of onboard NICs are sometimes saved in flash and need special handling then, so make a backup of the old contents before trying anything (this is always a good idea actually ;)
I will fix the false detection soon-ish, thanks for bringing this up!
Some vendors forget to disable regions properly and set their FRAP bits and FREG to 0. While not documented publicly this is being ignored by the chipset(s)[1] and hence flashrom should do so too. Without this patch flashrom prints a warning and disables writes. The check for i (region index) excludes the descriptor region which should not be becessary because specs suggest that the descriptor region should not be locked, but if vendors would follow the specs this patch would not have been necessary in the first place.

Signed-off-by: Stefan Tauner stefan.tauner@student.tuwien.ac.at --- Justin, you could help testing this patch by applying it to the latest development source from http://flashrom.org/Downloads and sending us the flashrom output as before. You will need to specify -p internal when running that version of flashrom due to some other change. If you need any help feel free to ask or join our IRC channel.
