<p>Hello CB Community- </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I recently aquired a <span>BCM MX57QM </span>board via ebay and bricked it trying to update some microcodes. The board has an SPI header, so I was going to pick up a programmer to try again, or restore to a supported ROM, and thought that I might as well
see if a coreboot build may work.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The board is a Socket G1 board with a QM57 chipset, and it was running fine with an i7 620M before I bricked it adding ucode for an i7 920XM. The BIOS looks to be a a Winbond 25Q64BVSIG 25/SPI (flashed with AMI). The Super IO is
<span>IT8783F.</span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Tangentially, any tips on what programmer/cables to use would also be appreciated. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any help.</p>
