Hi, I wanted to update the proprietary firmware on an Asus M2V mainboard from version 1603 to 2101. Having no floppy drive or Windows OS I browsed for the easiest way to do it on Linux and found Flashrom. I read the wiki page and found out the mainboard was supported. After downloading a package from the Asus website containing the firmware I checked with people on the IRC channel to get confirmation the filesize was correct. It was, so I charged ahead and wrote the new firmware to the chip, verified it against the file and rebooted. It worked prefectly! After that I was told that I should have read out what I had written on the chip and compared the md5sum with the downloaded firmware file. It seems I was a little reckless, but it ended well.
Thank you for your good work on Flashrom!
