flashrom test flashrom v0.9.1-r710

[Buckeyne, Thomas]

This was tested on a "custom" mainboard

Of interest to the flashrom group would be that this 
worked on "Intel ICH9M-E", Chip set with an Atmel "AT25DF641" 8MB chip

this was a "./flashrom -r save.img" -V >./flashrom-trace.txt

===
This flash part has status UNTESTED for operations: PROBE READ ERASE
WRITE
Please email a report to [e-mail] if any of the above
operations
work correctly for you with this flash part. Please include the flashrom
output with the additional -V option for all operations you tested (-V,
-rV,
-wV, -EV), and mention which mainboard you tested. Thanks for your help!

Reading flash... done.

<<flashrom-trace.txt>>

After save of SPI rom image I did a cmp -l between what I put on it with
a ms-dos fpt.exe program 
and the saved image => compare came out identical

I will send more traces as I do write ... etc.

If you need / want more info I will do what I can to get it for you

Glad to hear. We are always interested in reports for all kinds of
mainboards. It would be cool if you could supply a vendor/board name
and/or description so we can add it to the supported board list, but
that's not a requirement. It just makes us proud to show another special
board on the list.

Great. Looks like we can mark the chip as OK for PROBE/READ.

Yes please. If you plan to do that in the next few days, I'll hold off
changing chip status until you tell us if ERASE/WRITE worked as well.

We're currently working on partial flashing support (latest flashrom
subversion has some code, but not for your chip). I could dive in the
datasheet and add partial erase support for the AT25DF641 if you're
interested in that.
