[flashrom] ASUS P4XP-X

[Patrick Welche]

Is there a newbies list?

I thought I would attempt to upgrade the firmware of a SiI3124 SATALink
PCI card plugged into a P4XP-X motherboard. Stage one seems to be to run
flashrom -V (attached). It seems that P4XP-X isn't listed in flashrom -L,
so maybe I could "test" somehow?

How can I probe for the sata card?

On another computer with an intel board, the intel supplied bios executable
contains EV0482C.BIO and EV0482C.ITK. .BIO seems promising as "BIOS", but
the .ITK looks as though it contains all the strings - presumably both
files are necessary for an upgrade?

Pointers to a FM welcome...

Cheers,

Patrick
