I dont think anything has changed. I have a z790 msi board in front of me and I can still write to the spi flash with linux's builtin mtd driver. Even if secure boot and kernel integrity is enabled, the 2nd mtd device (which is the one with the firmware) remains writable...
Not that I'm complaining. I think its a good thing.
- dawidpotocki 4y agoI am aware that the SPI is unlocked, but MSI claimed that this is somehow supposed to protect against flashing unauthorised firmware, even with SPI unlocked. I don't really trust them though. Are you flashing official firmware or modded?
- AshamedCaptain 4y agoI don't know of any modded firmware for Z790 yet. I did change some of the settings storage and it continued booting fine. If it'll refuse to boot when I change certain areas, I don't know. I would not like to discover it, though.
