Programming a Windbond PC BIOS

merkurial

Hi,
I have had a problem with a motherboard and I need to flash its bios.
I wanted to use the TUMPA. The rom comes in a DIP-8 chip.
I believe I should use flashrom or maybe brspi.
I habe the TUMPA manual and the pinout of the SPI headers. But I
don't know how to find the pinout of the bios chip.
Could you help me?

Hello,
I -personally- do not have experience in flashing BIOS chip. Please see: http://flashrom.org/FT2232SPI_Programmer
IMHO you better ask it on flashrom Mailing-list/IRC or contact manufacturer of the chip for the datasheet/information.

Most recent boards use DIP8 chips (which always employ the SPI protocol).

For SPI connector of the TUMPA; Please see: http://www.tiaowiki.com/w/TIAO_USB_Multi_Protocol_Adapter_User%27s_Manual#SPI_Connector_1
