/CS Brown 1 AD3
MISO Yellow 2 AD1

Read out the BIOS

flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type=232H -c MX25L6406E/MX25L6408E -r factory1.rom

Write back the compiled BIOS

flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type=232H -c MX25L6406E/MX25L6408E -w coreboot.rom

LIBREBOOT

I looked on this guide below for inspiration, one can't follow it exacly any more ate libreboot project have refactored especialluy the vendor files since this was made. I have used a debian bookworm container on top of a proxmox -> 8 mb or ram, and 15 gb drive, 8 gb is to small

Download and build the developmet envirement

git clone https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk

Update flash after it have been flashed first time

sudo flashrom -p internal:boardmismatch=force -c MX25L6406E/MX25L6408E -w coreboot.rom
