I think the Tyan S2881 looks like the most similar candidate for the Dl145G1 / A2210 motherboard, so I'm using that as template.
Ant I'm able to read the existing BIOS from the 512k Flash ROM "SST49LF040" to a file using "flashrom -r" so now I have a backup. And I'm able to compile a new image from the S2881 template in coreboot. But do I dare to write the new image using flashrom? What happens if I can't boot? Do I have to buy some hardware flash programming dongle? I can see a 2x10-pin connector on the motherboard marked "LPC". Is that where the flash programmer should be connected? Or is it possible to program the flash even without a working BIOS through the superio chip using the RS232 port somehow? Is that what the "-p serprog" option in flashrom is for?
