-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi,
I deduct from my error message: - - The chip is connected to the beagle bone and the wiring is correct. - - The BeagleBone is set up correctly and flashrom is working. - - Flasrom does not recognize the chip. This means there is some communication between the chip and flashrom but flashrom is not certain how to communicate. I am willing to help to extend flashrom so it recognizes the flash chip of my T400. What should I do to help making this possible?
