From e8aef0d77a5b951a55410a3eb73ca5a9d10d645d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carl-Daniel Hailfinger Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:55:34 +0000 Subject: Disallow erase/write for known bad chips so people won't try without a clear understanding Allow override with--force. If write/erase failed, warn the user to get help and not shutdown/reboot the computer. Warn that the result of a forced read is often garbage. Too many users believed that a forced read meant that everything was fine. Wait 1 second between erase and verify. This fixes a few reports where verify directly after erase had unpleasant side effects like corrupting flash or at least getting incorrect verify results. Corresponding to flashrom svn r692.
