Dear developers,<br>
<br>
I have this motherboard: <a
href="http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=1647&dl=1#bios">GA-8IPE1000
(rev. 1.x)</a> with version FB of the BIOS, and tried to upgrade
BIOS firmware with your software, and here is the results:<br>
<br>
<font color="#cc6600">usuario@pentium4ht:~/temporal$ sudo
/usr/sbin/flashrom -w 8ipe1000.f12<br>
flashrom v0.9.5.2-r1517 on Linux 3.2.0-24-generic-pae (i686),
built with libpci 3.1.8, GCC 4.6.3, little endian<br>
flashrom is free software, get the source code at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.flashrom.org">http://www.flashrom.org</a><br>
<br>
Calibrating delay loop... OK.<br>
Found chipset "Intel ICH5/ICH5R". Enabling flash write... OK.<br>
Found SST flash chip "SST49LF002A/B" (256 kB, FWH) at physical
address 0xfffc0000.<br>
Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling coreboot-related
checks.<br>
Reading old flash chip contents... done.<br>
Erasing and writing flash chip... ERASE FAILED at 0x00000000!
Expected=0xff, Read=0x23, failed byte count from
0x00000000-0x00000fff: 0xff0<br>
ERASE FAILED!<br>
Reading current flash chip contents... done. ERASE FAILED at
0x00000000! Expected=0xff, Read=0x23, failed byte count from
0x00000000-0x00003fff: 0x3fb9<br>
ERASE FAILED!<br>
FAILED!<br>
Uh oh. Erase/write failed. Checking if anything changed.<br>
Good. It seems nothing was changed.<br>
Writing to the flash chip apparently didn't do anything.<br>
This means we have to add special support for your board,
programmer or flash chip.<br>
Please report this on IRC at irc.freenode.net (channel #flashrom)
or<br>
mail <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:flashrom@flashrom.org">flashrom@flashrom.org</a>!<br>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
You may now reboot or simply leave the machine running.<br>
