Ok, thank you for the clarification.

I thought the connector was needed to program the module.

I have an ASMB4-iKVM. I think it's this, although it has two stickers 
and I can not see the concrete model

Ok.. flashing is done with your flashrom version. Sorry for not reading 
the whole instructions.

I will try it in a few days.

Thank you for your help and all the amazing work you are doing.

Regards,

- Eli
