New supported board: 939A785GMH/128M

[Lennart Sauerbeck]

Hi all,

I just tried flashrom 0.9.2 with my mainboard [1] and everything I
tested worked fine. Since it is not listed as supported mainboard in the
wiki here's what I did:

- Reading my current BIOS.
- Writing my current BIOS to the chip.
- Verifying the content of the chip against the read binary.

Attached are the outputs of "flashrom -V" (flashrom_V) and of
"lspci -vvvnnxxx" (lspci). I checked back with the IRC channel, but if
you still need the output of "superiotool -deV" or any other information
let me know.

Regards,
Lennart Sauerbeck

Thanks, we marked it as tested now.

This was a read test, correct? Do we have any indication that write
would have worked? If not, can write be tested? IIRC Rudolf Marek has
this board as well.

Without write tests we shouldn't mark a board as supported.

Here's what I did:

$ flashrom -r backup.bin
$ flashrom -w backup.bin
$ flashrom -v backup.bin

Step 2 and 3 both verified the image. Are there more tests that I can do
(without running too high a risk since my equipment is rather limited)?

Lennart

Sorry, I didn't see the -w operation in your first mail. You performed a
write, and thus the test is complete and sufficient.
