Hi, I'm wondering if your patches from last fall for layout support for read have been updated? I'd like to try with your Avoton patches but the merge is non-trivial
I have rebased my local branch to current HEAD for you. It compiles but I have not checked anything else -> no promises whatsoever. You can find it on my github: https://github.com/stefanct/flashrom/tree/layout They should not conflict with the Intel patches. Hope that helps.
cool, just tried and was enable to read the descriptor (64K) and then the actual BIOS (6MB). I had to edit out the write-only check in cli_classic.c, assumed that was relatively safe.
The --verify function doesn't work per se, but the files I was able to extract using --read matched.
The BIOS files mostly seem to match what is posted by ASUS online. That is, other than configuration areas which I don't understand. I assume that when a tool like BUPDATER from Asus reads a BIOS update file, it doesn't simply overwrite the entire BIOS area? I mean, there are quite a few 64KB configuration areas containing things like the motherboard name. Or is this relatively safe to overwrite?
