kandi X-RAY | flashrom Summary

flashrom is a C library. flashrom has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

flashrom is a utility for detecting, reading, writing, verifying and erasing flash chips. It is 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 flash chips (most commonly found in SOIC8, DIP8, SOIC16, WSON8, PLCC32, DIP32, TSOP32, and TSOP40 packages), which use various protocols such as LPC, FWH, parallel flash, or SPI. Do not use flashrom on laptops (yet)! The embedded controller (EC) present in many laptops might interact badly with any attempts to communicate with the flash chip and may brick your laptop. Please make a backup of your flash chip before writing to it. Please see the flashrom(8) manpage.

How do I unpack raw binary from Asus BIOS update file?

QUESTION

How do I unpack raw binary from Asus BIOS update file?

Asked 2018-Jul-19 at 15:29

I am attempting to repair a bricked Asus X53SV notebook (Asus K53SV board) by reflashing with flashrom from a Raspberry Pi. I've got it all hooked up and flashrom recognizes and reads the chip. However, I cannot determine what type of file the BIOS update is that I downloaded from Asus support site. The update I'm using is K53SVAS.315 for Aptio's Easy Flash. How can I extract the raw BIOS from this file?

After further research, I've determined that the download offered by Asus is not a complete BIOS image file. It cannot be used to reflash the EEPROM directly as it does not contain all of the information required. The built in Easy Flash utility uses this file to update only a portion of the EEPROM. The only officially supported method of repairing a bricked Asus notebook is to send it back to Asus.
