Re: [coreboot] Flashrom support for EPIA-N(L) - patch for review

[bari]

Jon,

Just to be certain do:  ./flashrom -r empty.dd' and them 'hexdump -C 
empty.dd', which should return only 0xff bytes.

Also write an image consisting of random bytes (if you have an extra 
device or biosavior, etc. to recover with), then verify it with -v:

dd if=/dev/urandom of=rnd.dd bs=1024c count=512
./flashrom -w rnd.dd
./flashrom -v rnd.dd

If this verifies OK, you can then write your good BIOS image back to the 
device.

Flashrom support for EPIA-N(L) - patch for review

[Harrison, Jon (SELEX GALILEO, UK)]

Bari/Folks,

I've run the extra tests::

./flashrom -m via:epia-n -E
./flashrom -m via:epia-n -r empty.dd
hexdump -C empty.dd (returns 0xff bytes as expected)
dd if=/dev/urandom of=rnd.dd bs=1024 count=512
./flashrom -m via:epia-n -w rnd.dd
./flashrom -m via:epia-n -v rnd.dd

All works OK and the good image goes back in OK too.

Jon

Jon,

empty.dd', which should return only 0xff bytes.

Also write an image consisting of random bytes (if you have an extra 
device or biosavior, etc. to recover with), then verify it with -v:

dd if=/dev/urandom of=rnd.dd bs=1024c count=512
./flashrom -w rnd.dd
./flashrom -v rnd.dd

If this verifies OK, you can then write your good BIOS image back to the

device.
