You may need to add 'iomem=relaxed' to your kernel parameters,
or trying running from a Live USB with a more permissive kernel (eg, Ubuntu 23.04+).
If you have UEFI SecureBoot enabled, you need to disable it to run the script/update your firmware.

looks like libftdi-dev is missing, I'll rebuild flashrom to not require, or you can just install it.

tips for dealing with USB device detection are listed on my FAQ page

[MrChromebox]

attach /tmp/flashrom.log here so I can see what happened

sigh. the correct thing to do is to flash back the old firmware, not flash another different firmware.

here is the file: flashrom.log sorry for the inconvenience

[MrChromebox]

I just pushed an update to the script with a new flashrom build, see if that helps any

i recieved this console error when running the script again:

remove the existing downloaded flashrom binary (/tmp/flashrom) and then the script will download the updated one
