So far, I find two issues: 1) The newer version of Flashrom require the –p parameter, which is easy to fix in the script. 2) The script also seems to rely on a specific format of the –L output. See the line in def dumpTheHardWay(): if line.find(“chipsets”)>0: The output file is created, but the subsequent loop to parse the chip list does not find “chipsets”.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I contacted Core Security but they have not provided an update to the Python script, so I am trying to figure it out. The Python script is from 2009, so can you provide a sample of the –L output from a 2009 version of Flashrom so I can make the parsing loop work?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Yes, I have read the disclaimer about using Flashrom on laptops. I did not receive any warnings when running the attached so hopefully it won’t brick the T500.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Robert<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
