First hickup :
flashrom is able to read from the flash chip.. but cannot erase/write it.
I'll have to do all the procedure with the programmer.
[root at G1 kontron_986lcd_m]# flashrom -r /tmp/read.rom
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
No coreboot table found.
Found chipset "Intel ICH7M", enabling flash write... OK.
Found chip "SST SST49LF004A/B" (512 KB) at physical address 0xfff80000.
Reading flash... done.
[root at G1 kontron_986lcd_m]# flashrom -w coreboot.rom
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
No coreboot table found.
Found chipset "Intel ICH7M", enabling flash write... OK.
Found chip "SST SST49LF004A/B" (512 KB) at physical address 0xfff80000.
Note: If the following flash access fails, try -m <vendor>:<mainboard>.
ERASE FAILED!
