I'd like to update the BIOS of an MSI Z87-G43 board, and I'm wondering if there's anything in the output of flashrom (below) that I should be worried about. In particular, there's the "SPI Configuration Lockdown" message, and the fact that the flash chip is referred to as "Opaque".
Basically, would it be unwise to attempt to flash this BIOS with flashrom? flashrom v0.9.7-r1711 on Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (x86_64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chipset "Intel Z87". This chipset is marked as untested. If you are using an up-to-date version of flashrom *and* were (not) able to successfully update your firmware with it, then please email a report to [email protected] including a verbose (-V) log. Thank you! Enabling flash write... Warning: SPI Configuration Lockdown activated. Enabling hardware sequencing because some important opcode is locked. OK. Found Programmer flash chip "Opaque flash chip" (8192 kB, Programmer-specific) at physical address 0x0. No operations were specified. _______________________________________________ flashrom mailing list [email protected] http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom
