Hi,
we're hitting the 80 column limit in our code in ways which actually
reduce readability for the code. Examples are various multiline messages
and complicated nested code where refactoring to a separate function
doesn't make sense.
Keeping the old 80 column limit is not really an option anymore.
Standard terminal sizes have one of 80, 100 or 132 columns.
Given the monitor resolutions many people have nowadays, I think it is
safe to say that you can fit two xterms with 100 columns horizonally
next to each other. 100 columns should also be sufficient for a msg_p*
of roughly 80 columns of text.
132 columns provide more leeway, but IMHO that would be too wide for
good readability (and my screen can't fit two xterms side-by-side anymore).
Of course some files have sections where any column limit is not
acceptable (board lists etc.), but the column limit violations should be
limited to the affected file sections, not whole files.
Comments?
I'd like to get this decided today or tomorrow so we know where we need
line breaks in Stefan Tauner's new struct flashchip patch.

Carl-Daniel

Hi,
I'm trying to find out which external programmers should be supported next.
1. There was talk of an AVR-based new programmer using the serprog
protocol on IRC by someone with the nick "coldelectrons", but I have no
idea if he/she is reading this mail. IMHO more hardware using the
serprog protocol is always a good idea.
2. All those Willem/Sivava variants. People regularly request those, but
I don't think anyone in here owns the hardware.
3. RayeR's SPIPGM. I have a preliminary patch which could work, but I
don't have the hardware. Will send the patch to the list soon.
4. LPC^2, Milksop, CheapLPC and other programmers from the Xbox modding
community.
5. Dozens of SPI programmer hardware projects scattered over the net.
Too many to count, and I'm not sure which of them has more than one user.
In general, it seems creating a new programmer hardware design is like
writing IRC clients: A nice way to get started in the field. I have no
problems merging flashrom support for all of them, but I won't implement
support for all of them myself.
Regards,
Carl-Daniel

i am resending this patch (unchanged) because patchwork did not pick it
up correctly. please do send one patch per mail only in the future
until we have something really working. :)

Hi
Following patch adds the en29lv640b which needs special command sequences in 8
bit mode. Also, 8 bit programming needs actually 16bit double byte program.
The chip is found on bifferboard.
Please check the patch and let me know.

Thanks

Does the following not work for you?
dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1k count=4k of=oldimage.bin
flashrom -p dummy:emulate=SST25VF032B,image=oldimage.bin -w newimage.bin
