e7500 and ich2rom

[steven james]

Greetings,

I've been playing with this as well. Depending on the motherboard,
etc. the full size of the flash may not be mapped in.

It's probably worthwhile to look around in user space using /dev/mem to
try to find the actual size of the mapped in portion. The flash part will
respond to a JEDIC probe.

G'day,
sjames
