This rayer_spi is "RayeR parallel port programmer" which is external. Internal flashing will not work until someone will reverse engineer the proprietary UEFI update mechanism part of updating EC firmware.
P.S. Meanwhile I'm contributing various patches to coreboot, although they are not discrete GPU-related yet (sorry I'm such a slowpoke!) you may want to take a look, e.g. some of them are for ACPI S3 inspired by HJK https://review.coreboot.org/q/mikeb+mikeb On Wed, Jan 9, 2019 at 12:45 AM awokd via flashrom <[email protected]> wrote: > > Mike Banon wrote on 1/8/19 3:08 PM: > > Hi Nyulos, > > Have you tried following the KB9012 flashing instructions at > > DangerousPrototypes wiki? > > http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Flashing_KB9012_with_Bus_Pirate > > Although that is for Bus Pirate / CH341A programmers and LA-A091P, > > should be similar for your Rayer programmer and LA-8241P motherboard. > > Most importantly, before plugging the power adapter you should unite > > three grounds: > > 1) GND of laptop's motherboard > > 2) GND of your programmer > > 3) GND of KB9012 > > Best regards, > > Mike Banon > > > > On Tue, Jan 8, 2019 at 3:30 PM Nyúlós Lónyál <[email protected]> > > wrote: > >> > >> Hi! > >> > >> I'm trying to flash an ENE KB9012QF A3 KBC on LA-8241P motherboard.
