  Now i am working on SST49LF004B
                                   33-4C-NHE
                                   0710022-CA   with the  motherboard
K8Upgrade-VM800

  The flashrom detect flash device on this board, But the erasing and
writting operation is not happening properly
   hier flashrom output :

[root at localhost ~]# flashrom

Calibrating delay loop... OK.

No coreboot table found.

Found chipset "VIA VT8237", enabling flash write... OK.
