With this patch, flashing the parallel EEPROM on board revisions 1.x finally works. Flashing the serial EEPROM of board revisions 2.x is just one patch away. Torsten Duwe says: Flash erase on my board was failing reliably. Now it works! Andreas B. Mundt says: For the first time I was able to write with flashrom and LB. $flashrom -Vv --write linuxbios.rom [...] Vendor ID: GIGABYTE, part ID: m57sli Found chipset "NVIDIA MCP55", enabling flash write... OK. [...] SST49LF040B found at physical address 0xfff80000. Flash part is SST49LF040B (512 KB). LinuxBIOS last image size (not ROM size) is 4096 bytes. Manufacturer: GIGABYTE Mainboard ID: m57sli This firmware image matches this motherboard. Programming page: 0007 at address: 0x00070000 Verifying flash... VERIFIED.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LinuxBIOS README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LinuxBIOS is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS you can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by LinuxBIOS. Examples include: * A Linux kernel * FILO (a simple bootloader with filesystem support) * GRUB2 (a free bootloader; support is in development) * OpenBIOS (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * Open Firmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * SmartFirmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * GNUFI (a free, UEFI-compatible firmware) * Etherboot (for network booting and booting from raw IDE or FILO) * ADLO (for booting Windows 2000 or OpenBSD) * Plan 9 (a distributed operating system) * memtest86 (for testing your RAM) Supported Hardware ------------------ LinuxBIOS supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.linuxbios.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.linuxbios.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the LinuxBIOS website: http://www.linuxbios.org You can contact us directly on the LinuxBIOS mailing list: http://www.linuxbios.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on LinuxBIOS is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
