Hi Anastasia, Thank you for the information. You were correct. The terminal output showed: Non active: internal (dependency libpci not found) Along with a long list of other non active programmers.
You were also correct that I had not installed the dependencies. Thank you for the link. That fixed the issue, and the internal programmer was available and worked. Unfortunately, I am back to "Failed to read fmap from ROM" If you have any thoughts on that error, I would appreciate hearing them. Below are the 2 times I tried to flash with the 2 chip names that were detected when running without the -c option. Thank you again for your help, Victor ================= root@pce04:/home/victorc# /usr/local/sbin/flashrom -p internal -w apu4_v4.17.0.3.rom -c W25Q64JV-.Q --fmap -i COREBOOT flashrom v1.6.0 on Linux 6.12.43+deb13-amd64 (x86_64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org coreboot table found at 0xdffce000.
