[flashrom] FAILED: PC Engines apu1c4

[Sven Dreyer]

Hi guys,

I just bought an PC Engines APU1C4 board, which the manufacturer says
can be updated using flashrom. But in my case, it didn't seem to work.
This is what happended:

<SNIP>
root at irmabox:~# flashrom -w apu140405.rom
flashrom v0.9.5.2-r1546 on Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (x86_64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org

Calibrating delay loop... OK.
coreboot table found at 0xdffdf000.
Found chipset "AMD SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0". Enabling flash write... OK.
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L1605" (2048 kB, SPI) at physical address
0xffe00000.
Reading old flash chip contents... done.
Erasing and writing flash chip... Erase/write done.
Verifying flash... VERIFY FAILED at 0x00000000! Expected=0x4c,
Read=0xcc, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x001fffff: 0xe62f
Your flash chip is in an unknown state.
Get help on IRC at chat.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or
mail flashrom at flashrom.org with the subject "FAILED: <your board name>"!

DO NOT REBOOT OR POWEROFF!

Of course, I did NOT power off or reboot the board. The bios file I
tried to flash is an original bios from the manufacturer's site.

Thanks for any hint.

Best regards,
Sven
