| | | | | | | | | | | | This adds an optional argument when using the ft2232_spi programmer to set the frequency divisor. The valid values for the divisor is any even integer between 2 and 131072.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sections describing the various options of the internal and dummy programmers have grown out of proportions. This patch adds some headlines to devide the unrelated topics a bit (with .TP commands). The previous indented paragraphs for the various programmers were transformed to subsections (.SS). Also, rephrase the documention related to laptops completely to make it less redundant and more informative. Document the laptop=this_is_not_a_laptop internal programmer parameter Change the contact info in the bugs section by removing the trac reference and adding IRC (and the pastebin) instead.

* Warn of one-time programmable (OTP) memoryDaniel Lenski2012-02-151-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some flash chips contain OTP memory that we cannot read or write (yet). This prohibits us from cloning them, hence warn the user if we detect it. Not all variations of the tagged chips contain OTP memory. They are often only enabled on request or have there own ordering numbers. There is usually no way to distinguish them. Because this is a supposedly seldomly used feature the warning is shown in with dbg verbosity. The manpage is extended to describe the backgrounds a bit. Corresponding to flashrom svn r1493.

* ichspi: add support for Intel Hardware SequencingStefan Tauner2011-11-081-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on the new opaque programmer framework this patch adds support for Intel Hardware Sequencing on ICH8 and its successors. By default (or when setting the ich_spi_mode option to auto) the module tries to use swseq and only activates hwseq if need be: - if important opcodes are inaccessible due to lockdown - if more than one flash chip is attached. The other options (swseq, hwseq) select the respective mode (if possible). A general description of Hardware Sequencing can be found in this blog entry: http://blogs.coreboot.org/blog/2011/06/11/gsoc-2011-flashrom-part-1/ Besides adding hwseq this patch also introduces these unrelated changes: - Fix enable_flash_ich_dc_spi to pass ERROR_FATAL from ich_init_spi. The whole error handling looks a bit odd to me, so this patch does change very little. Also, it does not touch the tunnelcreek method, which should be refactored anyway. - Add null-pointer guards to find_opcode and find_preop to matches the other opcode methods better: curopcodes == NULL has some meaning and is actively used/checked in other functions.

* Add support for the GOEPEL PicoTAP programmerSamir Ibradžić2011-10-201-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | http://www.goepel.com/en/jtagboundary-scan/hardware/picotap.html This device is actually a JTAG adapter, but since it uses standard FT2232 A interface pins, it can be easily used as SPI programmer (tested it here successfully). PicoTAP supports only 5V output, so one needs to reduce this to 3.3V in a same manner as DLP Design DLP-USB1232H, see http://flashrom.org/FT2232SPI_Programmer#DLP_Design_DLP-USB1232H for details. The PicoTAP pin-out is as follows: PicoTAP | SPI ---------+------- TCK | SCLK TMS | CS# TDI | SO TDO | SI /TRST | - GND | GND +5V | VCC, HOLD# & WP# after 3.3V regulator I managed to run PicoTAP in 10MHz, 15MHz and 30MHz modes (by forcing DIVIDE_BY), against SST25VF016B SPI flash, read/write/erase all worked fine (write seems somewhat slow).

This is an FTDI FT2232H based device which provides an easily accessible JTAG, SPI, I2C, serial breakout. The SPI part can be used to flash SPI flash chips using flashrom. http://www.diygadget.com/tiao-usb-multi-protocol-adapter-jtag-spi-i2c-serial.html http://www.tiaowiki.com/w/TIAO_USB_Multi_Protocol_Adapter_User%27s_Manual#SPI_Connector_1 There are two SPI connectors (pin headers) on the board: SPI1, which is connected to the FT2232H's A interface, and SPI2, which is connected to the chip's B interface. Both can be used to flash SPI chips: flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type=tumpa,port=A flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type=tumpa,port=B The default interface is A, so for SPI1 you can also just write: flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type=tumpa I tested all operations on both interfaces, everything works fine.

* Add support for the Open Graphics Project development card, OGD1, as a SPI ↵Mark Marshall2010-12-031-0/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | flash programmer The project is in the the process of designing and making a complete, open source, graphics card. More info at http://wiki.opengraphics.org. The first development card is a PCI add in card containing a couple of FPGAs and a couple of serial flash chips (amongst other things). The FPGAs are called XP10 and S3 (their part numbers). The XP10 contains its own flash and does not need to be programmed by flashrom - it ensures that the device can enumerate on the PCI bus without needing further configuration. The larger FPGA is the S3. This is configured from a large SPI flash (2 MBytes). The second SPI flash is used to store the VGA BIOS. It is smaller (128 KBytes). This patch adds support for programming either of the two SPI flash chips. The programmer device takes one configuration option which selects which of the two flash chips is accessed. This must be set to either "cprom" or "bprom". (The project refers to the two chips as "cprom" / "bprom", "s3" and "bios" are more readable alternatives). Add support for SST SST25VF010 (REMS).

* One of the problems is that --force had multiple meaningsCarl-Daniel Hailfinger2010-04-281-8/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - 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.

* Refactor man pageMichael Karcher2010-03-071-37/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch puts the description of the different programmers into a separate section of the manpage instead of having them one after the other without visual structuring in the description of "-p". It is made as a preparation of a man-page patch that adds the background of board enables into flashrom.8 that would really blow up the OPTIONS section. The only differences in content are: - The parameter for serprog is mandatory, not optional - Default behaviour of it87spi (using BIOS-set I/O address) is mentioned. - Default speed of buspiratespi is mentioned.

* Add initial support for flashing some NVIDIA graphics cardsUwe Hermann2009-09-301-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new option is '-p gfxnvidia', rest of the interface is as usual. I tested a successful identify and read on a "RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro" card for now, erase and write did NOT work properly so far! Please do not attempt to write/erase cards yet, unless you can recover! In addition to the NVIDIA handling code it was required to call programmer_shutdown() in a lot more places, otherwise the graphics card will be disabled in the init function, but never enabled again as the shutdown function is not called. The shutdown handling may be changed to use atexit() later. Corresponding to flashrom svn r737. Signed-off-by: Uwe Hermann <uwe@hermann-uwe.de> Acked-by: Luc Verhaegen <libv@skynet.be>
