BIOS Updates forum

Now I'm seeing some people had problems writing chips using Uniflash in KT400/KT600 motherboards, it seems there's a problem after flashing, data mismatch or something like that. Because KT600 use "by default" only flashrom with PP-interface (including MSI KT6 Delta) Did they use PP-interface flash...

Rainbow are you there ?

I guess there shouldn't be any problems as both flash chips have Parallel Programming (PP) and LPC interfaces, I've checked out the datasheets, but isn't PP used for fast factory programming with programming equipment while FWH/LPC for in-system programming ? Under "PP" i implied "old", "usual" fla...

It's weird because it seems to me that VIA 8377/8237 can work with 4Mbit flash EEPROMs as MSI KT6 Delta has 4Mbit (524,288 bytes) firmware updates : So why do you think 4Mbit flash EEPROMs may not work ? Because KT600 use "by default" only flashrom with PP-interface (including MSI KT6 Delta), but A...

One more thing, ASUS A7V600-X benefits from this specific support too ? Run with "-Asus" key. If don`t correctly work (most certainly so be it for 4Mbit-bioses) change: if AsusUsed then begin if Map then AsusEnable else AsusDisable; ROMEnabled:=Map; {Exit; <- comment this string} end; Thank you app...

KT600 support by Uniflash 1.40. Thank you. OK, do you think it's possible to write the 512KB flash chip ( SST 49LF004B ) in ASUS A7V600-X ( PMC Pm49FL002 ) using Uniflash 1.40 ? One more thing, ASUS A7V600-X benefits from this specific support too ? added specific support for Asus A7V266 and A7V8X-...

Good find apple_rom.

Any info on KT600 support ?

OK, Rainbow, please feel free to post your thoughts.

And by the way, the people that read my message please feel free too.

Well, I need to reprogram a SST 49LF004B (FWH/LPC, 512KB) flash chip of a DFI Infinity NF4 Ultra (nForce4/IT8712F/Award) that went bad after power loss last night. At the moment I only have a ASUS A7V600-X (Apollo KT600/IT8712F/Award) motherboard laying around for hotswap, but it has a PMC Pm49FL002...

I think it's more of a motherboard BIOS compatibility problem with i82802AB rather than a problem with the FWH itself. For the record, i82802AB is a FWH-only flash ROM just like SST 49LF004A while as PMC Pm49FL004 is a two-in-one flash ROM supporting both FWH/LPC interfaces, in my opinion that's why...

I think Intel doesn't work since it's listed as FWH only, PMC Pm49FL004/3.3V in the other hand is listed as a LPC/FWH, would it make any difference ?

So what are you going to do ?

Looks like you'll have to return this 8X and get a PMC4 right ?

OK, very strange indeed.

I suggest you download an Intel-based awdflash and see if it helps.

I see awdflash 8.57 supports "INTEL E82802AB /3.3V(4Mb)"

Btw, what awdflash versions have you tried so far ?

Have you tried awdflash /f /qi options ?

You can easily extract ASUS' BIOS files modules with BIOS Information Tool (BIT) if that's what you want.
