The 49LF008A was added to flash_rom just recently. You should be able to use any mainboard with the appropriate socket and one of these southbridges: SiS630, SiS5595, Intel E7500, VIA VT8231, VIA VT8235, AMD SC1100, AMD CS5530, AMD 8111.
The AMDSC1100 was the southbridge on some GX1 based boards we used here at the Lab a while back. I'm uncertain whether flash_rom will work with whatever is on your GX2 based board, but it might be worth a try. If it doesn't work, you can probably grab a cheap mainboard off pricewatch.com and use flash_rom anyway. Beats paying hundreds for specialized hardware plus some rediculous amount for an MS Windows license :) On Tue, 30 Mar 2004, Vic Berdin wrote: > Hi, > > This maybe the wrong list to post this but since you guys are into > the field of creating your own BIOSware, I would like to ask if > anyone knows of a device or equipment (connected via stadard PC port) > that may be used in order to write data into a BIOS chip? > > I am currently scouring the net for any material (software/hardware) > that can aid me in safely replacing the BIOSware on an SST49LF008A > FWH that socketted on an AMD GX2-based target board. > The said board and SST chip is not (yet) supported (or listed) by > this project. > > However, our goal is to replace the existing BIOSware with Linux. > > > TIA - Vic > > _______________________________________________ > Linuxbios mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios > _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
