Hello everyone. Sorry for the quietness lately, I have been out straight at work implimenting a new tape library project (BRMS for those of you that know AS400's). Kind of cool working with LTO4's (1 1/2 terabites) and a tape library that can hold 110 LTO4's (IBM TS3310).
Anyways, I am going to start a project based on a very simple and CHEAP LPC flasher originally designed for the xbox. http://rex.xbox-scene.com/LPC2/LPC2.html I have a friend that has already tested this on fwh hubs (SST49LF008A to be exact) and it worked great. I have placed an order so the parts should be arriving soon. The downside is the software is only for dos/win, but the software source code is also available on the site. I think it would be pretty easy to convert it to Linux. I am trying to get a hold of the original author for permission to release it under a GPL.
My question to the coreboot community is….. I have no problem hosting this project on my site, but would everyone like me to incorporate this project into coreboot? If so is anyone interested in helping?
Do we want to add support for this flasher to flashrom? In theory, reusing the abstraction model present since SPI could work well.
