The original IFD defines the BIOS region as the whole flash chip. While this is
not an issue if flashing a complete image, it confuses flashrom and trashes the
flash chip's contents when using the --ifd option. However, this can be easily
fixed by reading the IFD with flashrom, editing the correct values into it with
ifdtool and then reflashing it.
Create a layout.txt with the following contents:
flash chip's contents when using the `--ifd` option. A possible workaround is
to create a `layout.txt` file with a non-overlapping BIOS region:
00000000:00000fff fd
00180000:003fffff bios
00001000:0017ffff me
After that, simply run:
After that, use flashrom with the new layout file. For example, to create a
backup of the BIOS region and then flash a `coreboot.rom`, do:
```bash
sudo flashrom -p internal --ifd -i fd -r ifd.rom
ifdtool -n layout.txt ifd.rom
sudo flashrom -p internal --ifd -i fd -w ifd.rom.new
sudo flashrom -p internal -l layout.txt -i bios -r backup.rom
sudo flashrom -p internal -l layout.txt -i bios -w coreboot.rom
```
After flashing, power cycle the computer to ensure the new IFD is being used.
If only a reboot is done, the old IFD layout is still seen by flashrom, even if
the IFD on the flash chip is correctly defining the new region layout.
Modifying the IFD so that the BIOS region does not overlap would work as well.
However, this makes DualBIOS unable to recover from a bad flash for some reason.
