The MSI Z370-A-PRO is an Intel platform, whereas the MSI X570-A PRO is an AMD platform. One of the main use-cases of flashrom is to rewrite the boot firmware (BIOS, UEFI, coreboot...), and flashrom is often used to flash coreboot onto things. What's more, coreboot and flashrom use the same review infrastructure [1], so it's easy for coreboot developers to contribute to flashrom. There's coreboot support for Intel Coffee Lake, but not for AMD Zen stuff; and flashrom support is in a similar situation. I know there's some patches that enable support floating around. However, I don't think anyone pushed anything for review (if so, I must have missed it). There might be something in the GitHub pull requests, but I haven't checked. Since the GitHub repo is a mirror, it's not possible to accept pull requests through it, and transferring the PRs to Gerrit isn't trivial because of the sign-off requirement [2]. Yes, that page also mentions using GitHub, but it then says that one should use Gerrit instead. Maybe I'll rewrite that part at some point.

Congrats, Aspen. I have a MSI X570-A PRO (MS-7C37) Motherboard and trying to get flashrom v1.2 on FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT to recognize my mb. Looking at the supported hardware at https://www.flashrom.org/Supported_hardware I don't see my mb NOR yours either. Give me a little more detail on how you made this happen on a fairly recent MSI mb like ours. (On or off list).

[flashrom] MSI X570-A PRO (MS-7C37)
I'm just trying to read what bios info I can: MSI X570-A PRO (MS-7C37) AMD Ryzen 7 3700X FreeBSD fbsd13 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT root@fbsd13:~ # flashrom -p internal flashrom v1.2 on FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT (amd64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 4, resolution: 1ns). Found chipset "AMD FP4". Enabling flash write... FCH device found but SMBus revision 0x61 does not match known values. Please report this to flashrom@flashrom.org and include this log and the output of lspci -nnvx, thanks!. Could not determine chipset generation.PROBLEMS, continuing anyway No EEPROM/flash device found. Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically. pciconf -lvb output attached, as well as flashrom -V -p internal (the verbose version) My first question is: It looks to me that "AMD FP4" is just a BGA (FP4) Socket, not a chip. Newbie to flashrom & coreboot.
