Change in flashrom[master]: buspirate: Add option for setting the aux pin

Sean Anderson has uploaded this change for review. ( https://review.coreboot.org/c/flashrom/+/43608 ) Change subject: buspirate: Add option for setting the aux pin ...................................................................... buspirate: Add option for setting the aux pin This adds a parameter to drive the aux pin low (or high if you explicitly want the previous behavior). Some boards need to have a reset pin driven low before the firmware can be safely flashed. With the Bus Pirate, this is most easily done with the auxiliary pin.

[M] Change in flashrom[master]: sb600spi.c: Move promontory code into a mmap_read=yes mode
by Arthur Heymans (Code Review) 28 Dec '22

28 Dec '22

Hello build bot (Jenkins), I'd like you to reexamine a change. Please visit https://review.coreboot.org/c/flashrom/+/71565 to look at the new patch set (#2). Change subject: sb600spi.c: Move promontory code into a mmap_read=yes mode ...................................................................... sb600spi.c: Move promontory code into a mmap_read=yes mode The only reason promontory code is handled differently is because memory mapped reads can be faster than manual SPI sequencing. This is not hardware specific so move it to an option 'mmap_read=yes'. Tested on an amd picasso and genoa board.

[M] Change in flashrom[master]: cli_classic.c: Allow ctrl of behaviour with WO and RO regions
by Edward O'Callaghan (Code Review) 23 Dec '22

23 Dec '22

Attention is currently required from: Angel Pons, Nikolai Artemiev. Hello Felix Singer, build bot (Jenkins), Angel Pons, Nikolai Artemiev, I'd like you to reexamine a change. Please visit https://review.coreboot.org/c/flashrom/+/70895 to look at the new patch set (#7). Change subject: cli_classic.c: Allow ctrl of behaviour with WO and RO regions ...................................................................... cli_classic.c: Allow ctrl of behaviour with WO and RO regions Add two force flags to the flashrom CLI frontend, --force-skip-nonreadable - skip reading non-readbale regions without failure, --force-skip-nonwritable - skip writing non-writable regions without failure. Each flag allows the user to finely control the behaviour of flashrom read and write operations when flashrom encounters a known permission problem. This can be useful in cases such as wanting to write a pre-padded BIOS image across flash where locked regions just wish to be left untouched without the need to craft a custom layout file for each case. Alternatively, to read a copy of flash complete with padding for regions that are known not to be readable at runtime however the user does not know the layout of flash or just wishes to have a padded binary read back.
