ST 95XXX chips
by Николай Николаев May 2, 2020

May 2, 2020

Hello My pull request has already been created that had occurred *several months* previously. I added support for ST 95XXX chips . The following chipsets have been successfully tested for read, erase and write operations: ST [ 95080, 95160, 95320, 95640, 95128, 95256 ]. I would like to discuss a new features. Maybe someone in the community will spent a bit of time and review my pull request. Don't worry about the conflicting files. The part of the code has already been merged into effect. *I'm open-minded and ready. *

"pcidev.c: Factor out pcidev_validate() into pure fn" broke PCI programmers
by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger Jan. 30, 2020

Jan. 30, 2020

Hi, commit e28d75ed7204d7fac2c0fac13978098530b0574e dropped some logic during refactoring. PCI-based programmers now fail to initialize IFF the desired PCI device not the last one enumerated by libpci. Given that this refactoring was done to make unit tests easier, I'd expect the unit tests to have caught that problem. This raises a few questions: - Why did unit tests not find that problem? - If there are no unit tests testing for such a problem, why was the code refactored in the first place? - Do we need CI tests with real hardware or at least with qemu to avoid such problems in the future? Regards, Carl-Daniel

Stepping Down as Flashrom Maintainer/Developer
by Nico Huber Jan. 30, 2020

Jan. 30, 2020

Dear flashrom community, I regret to tell you that I won't do any further upstream flashrom work in the foreseeable future. Compared to the last few months that won't change much, as I didn't spend as much time on flashrom as I wanted to. TL;DR Maintaining flashrom was always a bit of a drag, mostly reviewing, organizing tests and releases, didn't leave much time for personal deve- lopment. Still, it was mostly fun. Until I flew too close to the sun and burned all my fuel that I had left for the project, trying to help converging the Chromium fork with upstream flashrom. I really hoped it wouldn't become another episode of "Nice! somebody else does the work". Not - a - chance. Upfront I was once told not to blame a company for the actions of individuals. However, there is forming a pattern, of people complaining to me how hard their job is; after I just did part of their job in my spare time! I don't think they are to blame, but they happen to all have the same employer. If we are pushed hard enough that we don't see anymore what we ask from one another, it's time to quit. At least regarding flash- rom I won't do any more work for them just because somebody said to be done in no time. What happened About half a year ago people started to push patches from Chromium upstream. I tried to welcome them and, as usual, to encouraged them to announce their plans on the mailing list so we could all work better together. Pipe dreams. Obviously they wanted a fast lane, so the fork wouldn't cause too much more friction (for them!). No time to wait for other patches (including conflicting ones) to be reviewed. No [...] to do it by themselves. There was a decision to be made, either they would have to wait and rebase or other contributors would have to wait even longer and rebase. I chose wrong, and feel sorry about it. I prioritized the upstreaming, did fewer reviews for other contributors, let my own patches rot, didn't invest in further flashrom releases. Around the same time, somebody (who happens to have administration rights) gave submit rights to the flashrom repository to one of them. I tried to stay calm and to be nice. (Edward, nothing personal, I actually was glad that it was you. I was just annoyed because of the way it happened, I had to dig up what is going on instead of reading it in a nice email.) Up to now, I guess roughly 40~50 patches landed upstream. Most of them in one of these categories: o New features o Flash chip support o Remaining diff between the branches The former turned out to be ok'ish, even though it's tedious to repeat every time that patches should be organized to ease review, and should have known issues fixed already. The flash chip additions started with a weird idea, sort the `flashchips.c` on both sides to make it easier comparable. I didn't want to squabble about other people's workflow and, in good faith, allowed it. The last category produced some odd patches with creative commit messages. It seems the idea was to diff individual files between the branches and if it was small enough to turn it into a commit. Now I have no idea how many sides their dice had that they used to decide which branch would be patched. The result was that I had to either complain about the commit message and hope to get answers (unlikely) or to dig into it by myself, spending hours staring at the history of the two branches to make some sense of it. I had to do exactly what the uploaders avoided to do because of their time constraints. Sometimes to find out that a commit effectively rever- ted good upstream work! If that wasn't discovered during review, that's the community's fault of course, and theirs to fix. The uploaders have no time; remember, their job is hard, yours is not. Regrets When I started maintaining flashrom, I set myself a rule: At least have a look at every patch that lands on Gerrit. I broke that rule at least with the patch train for AMD graphics cards, sorry Luc. Obviously I regret prioritizing Chromium patches, before they proved to be valuable community members. My biggest regret is the re-sorting of `flashchips.c`. Given the few patches in that area that landed, it didn't pan out. Also, it was a pure convenience stunt, one can as well re-sort on-the-fly for comparison. OTOH, it breaks the Git history, making it much harder to check for reasons, e.g. why is this feature set? which variants of this chip were really tested? If anybody wants to roll back master to fix that, you'd have my full support to make it happen without losing anything that was added after. Legacy I've left at least two of my patch trains rotting: A set to overhaul internal layout handling and one for IFWI layouts. I've seen that they were commented on eventually. Thank you Angel and David, and sorry in advance if I wasted your time in case the patches won't make it. The IFWI patches were written first, but they made me realize that layout changes are necessary and should come first. If I had spent more time on it, I would have rebased them accordingly. Future I'll have to maintain a flashrom branch for my employer. It might take some time before I rebase anything, but if anyone wants me to keep things published somewhere, I can arrange that. For upstream, future's all up to you! Thank you all for the time we spent together on the project! Nico

Testing Flashrom on new board
by Vesely, Vojtech Jan. 29, 2020

Jan. 29, 2020

Hi, I am working on bringing up new board and everything seems to work. I would like to test the functionality to make sure. There is https://www.flashrom.org/Board_Testing_HOWTO, but that is very general. Do you have some specific list of tests to run? Best, Vojtech Vesely Board Testing HOWTO - flashrom<https://www.flashrom.org/Board_Testing_HOWTO> This page gives you mainly hints on how to test flashrom support on mainboards. Testing for graphics / network / SATA cards and external programmer devices is similar but less dangerous. www.flashrom.org

How to add a new EEPROM/Flash chip into Flashrom
by Thorsten Kohl Jan. 27, 2020

Jan. 27, 2020

Dear developers, I've tried to add an Intel EEPROM 28F200B5 top and bottom boot to the list of supported chips. Therefore I modified the source codes flashchips.c and flashchips.h based on your latest stable release 1.1 and attached to this Email. But the Flashrom program still can't find any EEPROM/Flash device. I also attach the logged output to this Email. Is there anything else in the source code which I have to modify to make it work ?

I originally tried flashing with the surface mounted chip in place using windows software but the flash failed to verify the data so would not compete the operation. I unsoldered the chip and tried again with the same failed result. I thought perhaps the chip was broken so I bought a new one and tried programming it again through windows. This also failed. > > So I thought I'd try Flashing using Linux, both the old and new chip failed with the result shown in my original email. > > I'll solder the chip onto the programmer's piggyback board and give that a try (got nothing to loose!) that will bypass any test clip issue. > > On Wed, 22 Jan 2020 at 15:04, Mike Banon <mikebdp2(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> >> On Wed, Jan 22, 2020 at 2:07 PM Dennis <dennistravel(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> > >> > Hi.

Some faulty CH341A are giving 5V instead of 3.3V, please test yours with a multimeter. Have you ever successfully flashed any chip with your CH341A? By the way I've stumbled upon two CH341A (two posts on reddit's r/coreboot), one CH341A had a badly soldered chip leg and another was missing a capacitor. Easy to fix, but only if you have at least one working CH341A to compare i.e. the voltages at various points of a faulty vs working one.
