ASUS KFSN4-DRE?

+ +

+ Internal flashing should work just fine, even if you are + currently booting the proprietary firmware. +

+ +

+ Libreboot currently lacks documentation for externally + re-flashing an LPC flash chip. However, these boards have + the flash chip inside of an LPCC socket, and it is possible + to hot-swap the chips. If you want to back up your + known-working image, simply hot-swap the chip for one that + is the same capacity, after having dumped a copy of the + current firmware (flashrom -p internal -r yourchosenname.rom), + and then flash that chip with the known-working image. + Check whether the system still boots, and if it does, then + it should be safe to flash the new image (because you now + have a backup of the old image). +

+ +

+ Keeping at least one spare LPC PLCC chip with working firmware + on it is highly recommended, in case of bricks. +

+ +

+ Do check the HCL entry: ../hcl/kfsn4-dre.html +

Are you currently running libreboot (or coreboot)?
