PONY_SPI, the latest patch
by Virgil-Adrian Teaca 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

Hello, there is the latest patch for PONY_SPI. So, pony_spi accept these parameters: dev=/dev/ttyUSB0 "dev" is an required parameter. type=si_prog -> default Si-Prog / Ponyprog compat type=serbang -> my little programmer "type" is an optional parameter, with default to "si_prog". Also, now pony_spi is able to detect if it have on serial port an SI-Prog compatible programmer. And it insist to have it, to work. The detection is simple, using the standard on SI-Prog, RTS/DSR ping-back. All the best, Virgil.

Hello Experts, I have compiled the latest flashrom 0-9.5 source and tried to update the bios in the flash on our board, but I see the board gets hanged after executing the flashrom commands. But I don't see these errors in the reference board. Please see below logs: root@amc:~# root@amc:~# flashrom flashrom v0.9.5.2-r1515 on Linux 3.0.0-12-generic (i686), built with libpci 3.1.7, GCC 4.6.1, little endian flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org Calibrating delay loop...

wiki write access
by Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

hi, I am mainly interested in external flashers(for permitting people to flash coreboot) and did 2 flashers: 1) I did a hardware flasher for my bug device (made by buglabs): http://wiki.buglabs.net/index.php/SPI_Flash_Programmer , people in the #flashrom IRC channel fixed linux_spi for me so it could work (the fix are already in the svn of flashrom). I'd like to link to that wiki page. 2)I did an arduino uno based flasher which I'd like to document on the wiki, The source code is available here for now: https://gitorious.org/gnutoo-personal-arduino-projects/serprog- duino/blobs/master/serprog.c (if there is a better place to host it just tell me). I'd like to document the hardware and software setup. PS: I've also an openmoko debug board and a coreboot mainboard, both already supported by flashrom. Denis.
