I got the same message as you: "FCH device found but SMBus revision 0x61 does not match known values." Well, I am retired and messing with computers is my hobby, so I thought maybe trying a Linux would work better with flashrom, and installed Ubuntu. I still got the same message, and no real answer until Rene' Rebe posted this email on Oct 12: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=wm&ogbl#label/coreboot%2Fflashrom/WhctKJWHzSmQKFLjFkZrdWlXtzblWZTQhgLHvjxvmljHgPQLwpSfpwJdZrBqSvCfxLDJskv What I realized was that I needed to download the source, modify a line to include my particular spi chip, compile and install flashrom myself. I looked at the documentation, asked questions, and IT WORKED. And, besides being able to read my flash chip with flashrom, I have been able to use it to write a stock bios update from MSI on my x570 motherboard, and IT WORKED. The first place to look is here: https://www.flashrom.org/Downloads So look at Rene's email & the flashrom download & install info, and ask more questions. Most everyone here is very willing to help. And, there is a fix in the works on Gerrit by the flashrom developers, but it's not yet released. You might enjoy the #flashrom & #coreboot channels on Freenode IRC. Best of luck, Clay
