#106: flashrom: Add -T to automatically test all flash chip operations

Maybe require -f to actually perform the test, since it will potentially
fail to restore the flash chip to it's original state.

Hello,
as I posted on the blog of Uwe, I have a sony vaio pcg sr1k laptop, and
wonder if I could flash it with coreboot. The box has
Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge chipset.
hovewer the results of the following commands are not encouriging, please
tell me if there is any chance to get coreboot working. Please find attached
the outpoot of the commands.
sudo superiotool -dV > siot.out
lspci -tvnn > lspci.out
sudo flashrom -V
Stefan,
Here is a list of products we have tested thus far and have found will work just fine with FlashROM

Our process is still ongoing so we will have new updates periodically to help include new FlashROM versions as well as new Tyan motherboards to this listing.
Our plans are to go through our current product listings and see if we can get FlashROM to work on them. We want to be able to add something other than AMI, Award or Phoenix as a flash utility for our customers. We have been pleased with what the FlashROM utility does and we are working on further validation with this particular utility.
Thanks again for your reply and we will continue to stay in touch as new updates are made available.

Dear Joel Robertson,
thank you very much for your interest in coreboot and flashrom!
If a specific mainboard was tested and is working, please send a mail containing the mainboard and the flash chip you used, and what you tested on that mainboard+flash combination (verify, read, erase, write) to either coreboot(a)coreboot.rom or flashrom(a)coreboot.rom. Then we can update the web pages accordingly.
In case you wish to have new, currently unsupported mainboards supported by flashrom, let us know here, too. I think we can help.
Best regards,
Stefan Reinauer

To Whomever it may concern:
We would like to update the motherboard listings that support the FlashROM software. We have additional motherboards that we would like to have listed but we need clarification on the process of how to go about this.
We have verified that the FlashROM does work in a 32-bit and 64-bit linux environment. We have also made sure that it will verify, read, erase and write a bios chip successfully.
Please let us know what we need to update the current support listings on the coreboot.org site.

in trunk/filo/Makefile, there is duplicated code to get gcc include
directory, the attached patch fixes that.

Add initial support for i855gme. This is a work in progress and I
don't expect it to work on all boards, or even any besides mine. This
is based heavily on i855pm.

#102: flashrom: coreboot ROM image file identification heuristic is broken
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Reporter: stuge | Owner: somebody
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: blocker | Milestone: flashrom v1.0
Component: flashrom | Version:
Keywords: rom image heuristic | Dependencies:
Patchstatus: patch needs work |
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Non-coreboot ROM images are incorrectly identified as coreboot images, and
arbitrary data is used in flashrom code.
The heuristic is far too simplistic, we need a proper signature in all
coreboot images. The suggested fix is to add a LAR header to the ROM
image, I like that too.
When an image is incorrectly identified, junk data used by flashrom
typically causes flashrom to segfault.
