Marked as OK: - ASUS M2V (reported by Henri Valta <henri.valta@kemi.fi>) http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2009-May/048674.html - Jetway J7F4K1G5D-PB (reported by Kevin O'Connor <kevin@koconnor.net>) - PC Engines Alix.3d3 (reported by Tobias Müller <Tobias_Mueller@twam.info>) http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2009-May/048549.html - MSI K7N2 (reported by Maciej Pijanka <maciej.pijanka@gmail.com>) http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2009-May/048777.html Marked as (so far) non-working: - DFI 855GME-MGF (reported by Tobias Müller <Tobias_Mueller@twam.info>) http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2009-May/048549.html - ASUS M3N78 Pro (reported by Piotr Esden-Tempski <esden@esden.net>) As discussed on IRC this is an MCP78 chipset with SPI translation apparently done in the southbridge, and we have no NVIDIA datasheets, of course. So the situation for this board will probably not change anytime soon. - MSI MS-6178 (reported by Uwe Hermann <uwe@hermann-uwe.de>) I tested write/erase will not work on this board, so a write-enable is needed. In _addition_, the board immediately powers off if you hot-unplug the PLCC chip, so I guess there's some SMI interference. - GIGABYTE GA-K8N-SLI (reported by Alexander Gordeev <lasaine@lvk.cs.msu.su>) This is currently being discussed on the mailing list (see http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2009-May/048717.html) and it's very likely that we'll be able to add a board-enable, so this board can be maked as OK soonish.

flashrom README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
flashrom is a utility for reading, writing, verifying and erasing flash ROM
chips. It's often used to flash BIOS/EFI/coreboot/firmware images in-system
using a supported mainboard, but it also supports flashing of network
cards (NICs), SATA controller cards, and other external devices which can
program flash chips.
It supports a wide range of DIP32, PLCC32, DIP8, SO8/SOIC8, TSOP32, and
TSOP40 chips, which use various protocols such as LPC, FWH, parallel flash,
or SPI.
(see http://coreboot.org for details on coreboot)
Build Requirements
------------------
To build flashrom you need to install the following packages or ports:
Linux et al:
* pciutils
* pciutils-devel / pciutils-dev / libpci-dev
* zlib-devel / zlib1g-dev
On FreeBSD, you need the following ports:
* devel/gmake
* devel/libpci
To compile on Linux, use:
make
To compile on FreeBSD, use:
gmake
To compile on Solaris, use:
gmake LDFLAGS="-L$pathtolibpci -lpci -lz" CC="gcc -I$pathtopciheaders" \
CFLAGS=-O2
To compile on DragonFly BSD, use:
ln -s /usr/pkg/include/pciutils pci
gmake CFLAGS=-I. LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib -lpci -lz"
To compile and run on Darwin/Mac OS X:
Install DirectIO from coresystems GmbH.
DirectIO is available at http://www.coresystems.de/en/directio.
