hi I am using the following mobo to play and update my thrashy bios file from f2 to f6 version and the bios chip is on the list of supported devices but I got an error in looking for erase function http://www.gigabyte.ru/products/page/mb/ga-8ipe1000-g_3x#kf GA-8IPE1000-G (rev. 3.x) here the output of the command flashrom --programmer internal -w 8ipekg.f6 https://pastebin.com/nkDDXZ34 I try it under freebsd 11.1 and even these advice doesn't help cat /etc/rc.securelevel securelevel=-1 SST49LF002A/B 256 FWH	OK OK OK OK 3.000 3.600 I didn't find anything but tuning secure level in FAQ section is there any other workaround I can go for flash these mobo successfully? I installed winxp but I missing the point that gigabyte flash exe not work from desktop and there is no clear DOS to go for it, autoexec.bat with such command flash.exe 8pipekg.f6 dosn't work and I missing any floppy diskette for sure I wont to waste CDR on freedos or even format one of 16Gb flash cards for freedos but...well its not short way

Good, writing to the flash chip apparently didn't do anything.
This means we have to add special support for your board, programmer or flash
chip. Please report this on IRC at chat.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or
mail flashrom@flashrom.org, thanks!
