This happens if flashrom can't identify the chassis type via SMBIOS (type 3 table IIRC). Basically, it assumes that if the user is on a system that is likely to have an embedded controller (typically laptops) then it is unsafe to proceed since ECs often share the firmware ROM and may interfere with the update process. So if you can fix SMBIOS to indicate that you are using a desktop board then flashrom shouldn't bother you with that. _______________________________________________ coreboot mailing list -- coreboot@coreboot.org To unsubscribe send an email to coreboot-le...@coreboot.org
