* Add OpenBSD supportCarl-Daniel Hailfinger2010-07-021-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a requirements section to the man page which lists the needed access permissions for each programmer. This feature needs my pciutils/libpci 8/16-bit write emulation patch at http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=127780030728045 titled [PATCH] Fix pciutils non-32bit PCI write on OpenBSD Corresponding to flashrom svn r1067. Signed-off-by: Carl-Daniel Hailfinger <c-d.hailfinger.devel.2006@gmx.net> Acked-by: Stuart Henderson <sthen@openbsd.org>
* One of the problems is that --force had multiple meaningsCarl-Daniel Hailfinger2010-04-281-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Force chip read by faking probe success. - Force chip access even if the chip is bigger than max decode size for the flash bus. - Force erase even if erase is known bad. - Force write even if write is known bad. - Force writing even if cbtable tells us that this is the wrong image for this board. This patch cleans up --force usage: - Remove any suggestions to use --force for probe/read from flashrom output. - Don't talk about "success" or "Found chip" if the chip is forced. - Add a new internal programmer parameter boardmismatch=force. This overrides any mismatch detection from cbtable/image comparisons. - Add a new internal programmer parameter laptop=force_I_want_a_brick. - Adjust the documentation for --force. - Clean up the man page a bit whereever it talks about --force or laptops. Additional changes in this patch: - Add warnings about laptops to the documentation. - Abort if a laptop is detected. Can be overridden with the programmer parameter mentioned above. - Add "Portable" to the list of DMI strings indicating laptops. - Check if a chip specified with -c is known to flashrom. - Programmer parameter reliability and consistency fixes. - More paranoid self-checks. - Improve documentation.

* There is no need to tell people to install libz if flashrom doesn't need libzCarl-Daniel Hailfinger2009-10-031-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far, the only case where libz is needed is when a library (libpci) pulls in libz and even then it only happens if libpci is available in a static version only and said static version has libz requirements. Check for libpci separately and don't require libz if it isn't needed. Clarify the README. Corresponding to flashrom svn r743.

* This patch introduces two new targets which are designed to make the life of ↵Carl-Daniel Hailfinger2009-06-121-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | packagers easier In particular, it should no longer be necessary to patch the makefile for hassle-free compilation. The targets are: make export make tarball Both preserve svn revisions and the exported tree does not depend on subversion in any way or shape. Documentation for this feature has been added to README. We need this for five reasons: 1. Packagers currently have to patch flashrom source to compile it on systems without subversion. We should make it easier for them. 2. Snapshot tarballs currently have a .svn 1.5 directory included but this will cause errors for users with older svn 1.4. Not requiring subversion for snapshot compilation is best. 3. Since packagers seldom the svn revision in their fixup patches, some packages out there have incorrect or no revision, only major version numbers. 4. Releasing a new version of flashrom needs too many changes to the makefile which have to be reverted instantly after the release. That is unnecessary churn. 5. Making a release is easy with the change. Update the major version, then run "make tarball". Corresponding to flashrom svn r587.
