[PATCH] Added SST25WF080
by jharper＠iseis.com May 3, 2014

May 3, 2014

This patch adds support for the SST25WF080 1 Mbyte SPI flash chip. It has been very minimally tested (basically one each read/write/verify), on Windows XP with a USB Blaster as the programmer. It worked, although it was horribly slow (at least 15 minutes to program 1 MB) - but I have not otherwise used this hardware/software combination to program anything, so that might be normal. - Jason Harper ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Compatibility with ECS Socket AM2+
by Leif Middelschulte May 3, 2014

May 3, 2014

Hi, firstofall thanks for your effort with flashrom. It’s really great to be able to flash a bios image independently of Windows. Sorry I didn’t catch the entire/verbose output. Nevertheless I could successfully flash a vendor bios for the following Motherboard: http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?DetailID=865&M… Regards, Leif

Is there a sure-fire way to reset any BIOS flash image to its default, out-of-the-box state with no special equipment?

Hi, I am seeking an answer to an apparently obscure question. If I install coreboot on my BIOS (UEFI motherboard) and the computer fails to boot, can I reset the BIOS flash to its default image? I've read about possibly changing jumper positions or removing the BIOS battery, but I can't seem to establish if these are sure-fire ways of restoring the original BIOS flash image. I'd like to attempt to install coreboot on a motherboard that doesn't appear to be coreboot-supported, but only if I know I can completely undo this. Is the default BIOS flash image preserved somewhere on a ROM chip or can it only be restored with special equipment? I definitely do not want to end up with an unusable machine. Thanks! Jim

issue with Micron N25Q128
by Shih-Chieh Huang May 3, 2014

May 3, 2014

Hi, I am having problem programing N25Q128 using flashrom0.9.7. I got the following errors from erasing address at 0x83f000. I have tried different boards and they failed at the same locations. There are three versions of N25Q128, uniform, top, and bottom. Only the 8 first/last sectors of top/bottom version supports subsector erase. But, from N25Q128 configuration in flashchip.c, it first tries SSE (0x20) for the entire chip. Could it be the problem? Is there a fix for this? Thank you very much. Found Micron/Numonyx/ST flash chip "N25Q128..3E" (16384 kB, SPI). This chip may contain one-time programmable memory. flashrom cannot read and may never be able to write it, hence it may not be able to completely clone the contents of this chip (see man page for details). Block protection is disabled. Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling coreboot-related checks. Reading old flash chip contents... done. Erasing and writing flash chip...

Hi, i just flashed the bios on the aforesaid motherboard using flashrom, it worked well and the process of erasing/writing seemed to be a lot faster than the dos/(flashutil.exe) in a floppy that i used up by now. The flash is a EON EN29F002NT. I'm attaching the log as proof.
