Ok it seems panic *isn't* the best approach after all: After dusting off an Intel 82815 + 82801BA (ICH2) based board, and reading the datasheets, I find I can get "flashrom" can detect SST49LF016C as follows:
Vendor BIOS sets southbridge ICH2 for a 1MB decode, with all but the top block having seemingly random IDSEL settings. I corrected this: # setpci -s 0:1f.0 e3.b=f0 # setpci -s 0:1f.0 e8.l=0 Now flashrom detects the chip, but -w write fails: Programming Page: sector erase FAILED at address 0xb7c9800 status=0x82 0000 at address 0x00000000sector write FAILED at address=0xb7c98001 status=0x82 and so on for all 512 sectors, but that's progress! SO now I need: 1) register settings for CK804 LPC decode range 2MB 2) get flashrom working on Intel 815 Regards, Jeremy On Mon, 2007-05-14 at 21:45 +0200, Peter Stuge wrote: > On Sat, May 12, 2007 at 10:44:30AM -0400, Jeremy Jackson wrote: > > I'm having trouble with Tyan S2865 (K8 + CK804 Ultra), flashrom > > works for SST49LF080 but not SST49LF016C, and I really wish it > > would(tm) > > Perhaps you can help with more testing so the problem can be > identified?
