Nico Huber has uploaded a new patch set (#7) to the change originally created by Steve Markgraf. ( https://review.coreboot.org/c/flashrom/+/71801 )
Change subject: programmer: Add bitbanging programmer driver for Linux libgpiod ......................................................................
programmer: Add bitbanging programmer driver for Linux libgpiod
With this driver, any single board computer, old smartphone, etc. with a few spare GPIOs can be used for flashrom.
Tested by reading of a 2048 kB flash chip on a Qualcomm MSM8916 SoC @800 MHz, ran the following command:
time flashrom -p linux_gpiod:gpiochip=0,cs=18,sck=19,mosi=13,miso=56 -r test.bin
This command uses /dev/gpiochip0 with the specified GPIO numbers for the SPI lines. All arguments are mandatory.
Output: [...] Found GigaDevice flash chip "GD25LQ16" (2048 kB, SPI) on linux_gpiod. [...] real 1m 33.96s
Retested after renaming and small changes by reading a SST25VF020B attached to the GPIO lines of a Raspberry Pi B:
time ./flashrom -p linux_gpio_spi:dev=/dev/gpiochip0,cs=2,sck=17,mosi=4,miso=3 -r /tmp/dump
Output: [...] Found SST flash chip "SST25VF020B" (256 kB, SPI) on linux_gpio_spi. [...] real 0m42.416s
