Hello all,

I have tried to flash an Asus M2N-MX board, and it failed (if I think it 
well it needs board enable patch).
The chip is a SST49LF040B as the flashrom detected. (Checked physically)

Product page can be found here:
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2NMX/

Latest BIOS can be found here:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socketAM2/M2N-MX/M2NX1004.zip

I have forgotten to save lspci and superiotool logs, let me know if it 
needed.

Thank you for your help in advance!

flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org

Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found chipset "NVIDIA MCP61". Enabling flash write... This chipset is not really supported yet. Guesswork...
Please send the output of "flashrom -V" to flashrom at flashrom.org with
your board name: flashrom -V as the subject to help us finish support for your
chipset. Thanks.
OK.
Found SST flash chip "SST49LF040B" (512 kB, LPC) at physical address 0xfff80000.
Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling coreboot-related checks.
Reading old flash chip contents... done.
Erasing and writing flash chip... Reading current flash chip contents... done. Good. It seems nothing was changed.

Strange. MCP SPI BAR is valid, but chipset apparently doesn't have SPI enabled.

OK.
