Support for programming device on SPI via USB bridge?
by Robert Selby 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Hi, just found FlashRom and looks to be a good base to start from for my needs. I have a USB->SPI bridge device (MCP2210) and on it's SPI bus is a "S25FL128S" device. It looks as though there is no direct support for accessing via the MCP2210. I assume that I would need to write a "programmer" to get this to work ??? I have a MCP2210 access library that seems to work well via "/dev/hidraw". Any advice/recommendations very welcome. It may be that someone has already done this ...

W836xx: To be filled by O.E.M.: flashrom -V
by Florian Schroeter 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

Dear flashrom Developers, I am writing you because I want to set up a proper Linux on my Laptop, which I imported from china. It's clearly an imitation of some Acer Aspire One Model. When I got it, the packaging was labeled as "Spire One"... W-Lan and Bluetooth, sound, battery state and brightness controls as well as function keys seem to work under windows but not under Linux. I guess the ACPI tables provided by the hardware do poorly support any OS different from Microsoft Windows. I had hoped that a BIOS update could maybe fix the buggy ACPI tables but wasn't able to update the bios using flashrom. As suggested by your tool I'll put the verbose output of flashrom into the attachment. Kind regards Florian Schröter

Laptops, notebooks and netbooks are difficult to support and we recommend to use the vendor flashing utility. The embedded controller (EC) in these machines often interacts badly with flashing. See the manpage and http://www.flashrom.org/Laptops for details. If flash is shared with the EC, erase is guaranteed to brick your laptop and write may brick your laptop. Read and probe may irritate your EC and cause fan failure, backlight failure and sudden poweroff. You have been warned. ======================================================================== Aborting. Error: Programmer initialization failed.

Flashrom not finding BIOS flash on HP DL585 G2

Unless there is another way to perform a BIOS flash backup of an HP ProLiant DL585 G2 server, I'd like to use flashrom for this. Results of flashrom -V -p internal, lspci, and superiotool are attached. Regards, Paul

It is not in the supported device list. http://www.atmel.com/Images/Atmel-5228-SEEPROM-AT25080B-160B-Datasheet.pdf Need to flash the AT25080B which is connected to a 82574L from intel.

I compared/checked the SPI communication of the first one with the second one. This looks the same. So I thought maybe the second AT25080B is broken. After replacing it, still the same result. I hope to get is to work if I could flash is not by the SPI interface of the 82574L, but by an in systerm programming (ISP).
