yes, very likely. > By the way, is it possible to add bios chip information (type) to support > list? What do you mean exactly? The interface type is noted in the wiki table as well as in the output of flashrom -L. For the chip in question on that nforce2 board i think it would not make any difference anyway if you would modify the bustype field in flashchips.c. > And how about 'soldering' write-enable?

In theory that is possible, but normally the pin is connected to a software-controlled pin (GPIO pin of the southbridge for example), and you are way better off controlling that pin with flashrom (a so-called board enable), than physically modifying a board. -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner _______________________________________________ flashrom mailing list [email protected] http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom
