[PATCH] Add logfile support to flashrom
by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 08 May '12

08 May '12

Add log file support to flashrom. The log file will always contain all verbose messages even if the user doesn't specify -V. If the user specifies -VV, SPEW messages will be logged as well. Proof of concept, comments welcome.

[PATCH] FT2232 programmer frequency divider parameter support
by Samir Ibradžić 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Hello, I would like to submit a patch, that enables extra argument when using FT2232 external programmer, a frequency divider. For FT2232 programmer we have this divider set to 3 by default by DIVIDE_BY constant, which will result in 10MHz (H-chips) or 2MHz (non H-chips) SPI speeds. By providing divider as parameter, SPI interface frequency culd be overridden by user, resulting in different speeds (H-chip example): divider | freq ---------+-------- 1 | 30Mhz 2 | 15Mhz 3 | 10Mhz 4 | 7.5Mhz 5 | 6Mhz 6 | 5Mhz 15 | 2Mhz 30 | 1Mhz 60 | 0.5Mhz 600 | 0.05Mhz (and so on) These lower than default SPI speeds can be very useful when we have flawed flash chips that would not support 10Mhz or bad quality or too long cabling between programmer and the chip. Higher than default speeds might also be useful (if only flashrom AAI implementation was faster). Please note that this parameter is arbitrary integer, maybe only a value up to 255 would really make sense, but i can not be sure about that since it may be programmer hardware dependent. All values between 1-255 worked for me (PicoTAP programmer), as well as 300 & 600 (these resulted in extremely slow flash reads, as expected, 2MB flash that usually takes 16s to read @2-10Mhz, took more than 6 minutes @0.05Mhz). Others values i haven't tested.

ASUS OPLX-M results (no flash device found)
by Ville Skyttä 17 Feb '12

Hello, I tried out flashrom on a ASUS OPLX-M motherboard, and it didn't find a flash device. I found some info by googling (that I cannot verify) that the OPLX-M would be an OEM (or something) version of the ASUS MEL-M; I suppose this particular board originally came with a Fujitsu/Siemens PC. http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?modelname=MEL-M&SLanguage=en…

The limitations and the influence of FDOPSS on that limitation are well defined in public documentation. But the unlocking process is not documented at all publicly. We know from different leaked documents and also from the fact that vendor tools exist, that unlocking can be done by software only and without touching the FDOPSS pin by sending the "HMRFPO Enable" command via HECI/MEI to the ME. The details are documented in the BIOS writer guide(s) (which are "restricted secret" level(?)) > I think what we've got to do > is checking the flash descriptor override pin strap status (FDOPSS).

We should be aware, that the limitation do not apply (we do print a message to the user already in that case), but we could and should use the regions where it makes sense (e.g. automatic creation of layout (file)s. > It's really just a pain in the ass and, as you pointed out, may leave the > BIOS/ME firmware blobs in an inconsistent or incompatible state.

As a first step yes. IIRC i have sent a patch that does that when active PR protections are found(?), but i think it is not in/reviewed yet. I agree, we should set write_allowed = 0 (or whatever it was) and rephrase the warning to include that. -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner

Yes (well, I'd have to write up something), but the solution mentioned by Michael is way easier, so I'll wait until Michael has diagnosed the GPIO settings from the flashrom run on factory BIOS.
