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 …
[View More]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.
Regards,
Carl-Daniel

I have a spansion S25FL128P......X chip and can do some tests.
The "problem" is that i don't know if its an 0 or an 1.
On the chip i see only "FL128PIF" and one line lower i see "00299012 C".
Probing works (id1 0x01, id2 0x2018):
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
serprog: Programmer name is "serprog-duino"
Found Spansion flash chip "S25FL128P......0" (16384 kB, SPI) on serprog.
Found Spansion flash chip "S25FL128P......1" (16384 kB, SPI) on serprog.
Found Spansion flash chip "S25FL128S......0" (…
[View More]16384 kB, SPI) on serprog.
Found Spansion flash chip "S25FL128S......1" (16384 kB, SPI) on serprog.
Found Spansion flash chip "S25FL129P......0" (16384 kB, SPI) on serprog.
Found Spansion flash chip "S25FL129P......1" (16384 kB, SPI) on serprog.
Multiple flash chip definitions match the detected chip(s):
"S25FL128P......0", "S25FL128P......1", "S25FL128S......0",
"S25FL128S......1", "S25FL129P......0", "S25FL129P......1"
Please specify which chip definition to use with the -c <chipname> option.
BTW: Chip was fund on a Dell-Systemboard.

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 …
[View More]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

Hello,
this chip is marked as "untested" in write mode.
So here are my test-results:
Erase in d8-Mode is not working (see log).
But i think it's the already known "serprog bug".
Erase in c7-mode is ok.
Write is working in both modes.
But i don't know why in c7-mode the log shows:
0x000000-0x007fff:W, 0x008000-0x00ffff:S, 0x010000-0x017fff:S,
0x018000-0x01ffff:S
I have created the test-file with dd and urandom. The file (131072 byte)
is full with data.
So it should write (W) not only to …
[View More]0x007fff. Strange!
If you need more logs or infos, let me know.
BTW: The chip is labeled "25P10VP". I see nothing with "-A".
And the chip was found on a "Maxtor" hard disk drive.

Hello,
here are the test results for "Found Micron/Numonyx/ST flash chip
"M25P16" (2048 kB, SPI)".
Erase seems to work, but write fails.
I tried it with an Arduino Uno
(http://www.flashrom.org/Serprog/Arduino_flasher).
Output is attached.

Hi,
I've got a Bay Trail tablet[1] and I tested flashrom on it, see the
attached report.
As reported in [1] I compiled flashrom statically on my host and then
executed it under Android on the target.
Reading the SPI flash works fine, is it safe enough to test writing too?
I ask because accessing the SPI flash physically for external
programming can be a little more inconvenient for a tablet.
Another question: would it be possible to use flashrom to only reset the
firmware _settings_, while …
[View More]leaving the code untouched?
Thanks,
Antonio

Hi,
Here is a patch, that provides support for the MSTAR ISP protocol.
Basically, among other chips, MSTAR manufactures SoCs that equip TV sets
and computer screens, and it seems that all of their products use the
same in-system programming protocol. Basically, they use the DDC channel
of VGA or DVI connectors, which is actually an I2C bus, to encapsulate
SPI frames (the flash chip is connected to the SoC through an SPI bus).
I wrote this patch since the screen I bought had a software bug, …
[View More]and the
manufacturer only released a new firmware binary, but no tool or
instructions on flashing it.
More details can be found here:
http://boeglin.org/blog/index.php?entry=Flashing-a-BenQ-Z-series-for-free(d…
I only read code from Linux kernel archives published by Acer to figure
out the protocol (for a touchscreen controller and a NFC chip, both by
MSTAR, that shared the same ISP protocol), so I don't think there are
any legal problems with it.
Please let me know what you think about this patch, and whether you're
interested in including it.
Best regards,
Alex
