I'm testing on an ALIX.2c3, which has the same rom chip: # ./flashrom Calibrating delay loop... OK. No coreboot table found. Found chipset "AMD CS5536", enabling flash write... OK. Found chip "Amic Technology A49LF040A" (512 KB) at physical address 0xfff80000. === This flash part has status UNTESTED for operations: PROBE READ ERASE WRITE Please email a report to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if any of the above operations work correctly for you with this flash part. Please include the full output from the program, including chipset found. Thank you for your help! === No operations were specified. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- So that's good. But running it again flashrom no longer sees the chip! # ./flashrom -v -r test.rom Calibrating delay loop... OK. No coreboot table found. Found chipset "AMD CS5536", enabling flash write... OK. No EEPROM/flash device found. # ./flashrom Calibrating delay loop... OK. No coreboot table found. Found chipset "AMD CS5536", enabling flash write... OK. No EEPROM/flash device found. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a cold reboot, I can run flashrom again, and the image it reads out looks like it could be correct: # ./flashrom -v -r test.rom Calibrating delay loop... OK. No coreboot table found. Found chipset "AMD CS5536", enabling flash write... OK.
