Hi,
I'm new to this list and to the project. I'd like to add support for the Asus A7V600 motherboard (VT8237 and KT600 based). I don't have many time, I'am not very familiar with chipset low level programming, but ... I found LinuxBios is an interesting project ;)
Until now, I spend my time gathering informations (manuals and datasheet - with a request to VIA) and looking to the linuxbios code.
I just wanted to add flash support to the flash_rom util to start something. My motherboard is using the Pm49FL002 flash memory. It's the same as the Pm49FL004 with 2Mb instead of 4Mb.
With respect to the Pm49FL002 datasheet, it seems to act as Jedec. So, I added this to flash_rom.c: {"Pm49FL002", PMC_ID, PMC_49FL002, NULL, 256, 16 * 1024, probe_jedec, erase_chip_jedec, NULL,NULL}, and to flash_rom.h: #define PMC_49FL002 0x6D /* PMC 49FL002 device code */
I just wanted to test the probing (No erasing or programming yet). And ... it fails. flash_rom doesn't find anything : the reported IDs bytes are the same as those reported without the probing memory cycles (0x555,0xAAA, ...)
So ... what am I doing wrong ? Do I have to set some bit in the Northbridge registers ?

asus loves to put GPIO enables ont their boards to control flash writes. My guess is you are getting no write cycles to the flash part.
This is pretty easy to probe for, find the GPIO registers and starting changing them one at a time, and see if at some point you have flash writes working. Some of them, when changed, may reset the board ... so be prepared for that.

I don't think we have flash_enable for the chipset. So writing command to the flash part has no effect.

I'm working on flash_enable for VT8237 as well as support for new the 16Mb LPC Flash.
There are some issues with getting the vt8237 to unlock the block locking registers in FWH mode.

I've been working on VIA VT8237 support. Should be up soon. Lots of boards using the vt8237 now.

Here's a copy of flash_enable.c with vt8237 support.
