When you run flashrom like that, you will tell it to write
'BYTI_072_011_ReleasePackage/BYTICRB__X64_R_0072_11_SeC_Enable.bin' to
your optiplex' mainboard flash chip, not to the flash chip connected
to your dediprog. (hint: change the target programmer after reading
the comment below)

Most, if not all, distributions package without compiling in dediprog
support. If this is the case, this means that you must compile
flashrom with dediprog support yourself.
