Re: [flashrom] Any chance of getting Flashrom 0.9.8 for DOS?

Why is DOS a must-have in your use case? Yes, I did cross-compile for DOS, however that was a while ago. I don't support DOS (anymore). - idwer 2016-12-04 21:59 GMT+01:00 Lu Xie <firexl(a)hotmail.com>: > Hi, > > I have been quite happy with the 0.9.6.1 release for DOS and I decided to > get a newer version.

Any chance of getting Flashrom 0.9.8 for DOS?
by Lu Xie Dec. 4, 2016

Dec. 4, 2016

Hi, I have been quite happy with the 0.9.6.1 release for DOS and I decided to get a newer version. I tried several compiled executables from the buildbot repository but they are all unstable. I did a search in the wayback machine and found that 0.9.8 was the last stable release that had a DOS executable stored outside the buildbot repository, but the link (http://ra.openbios.org/~idwer/flashrom/dos/) seems to be dead. I googled for hours but couldn't find a copy of a 0.9.8 DOS executable. Could you please send me a copy of it from your archive or repository? Thanks. Lu

Thank you Michael! I have verified that it builds fine: http://buildbot.flashrom.org/buildresults/flashrom-000559-9j8/results.html I will merge it as soon as we finished migrating to git (and gerrit+jenkins). -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner

Re: [flashrom] In-System Programming

Hi Lorentz > Now what I am wondering if I can do In-System Programming by powering up the mainboard and only use the data pins of the spi header. Problem is I don't know if this is possible, because CS# and DO are also on high level! And what do I do with the clk signal? Is it povided by the mainboard and messes up with the signal of the programmer? Or is it possible that the chip is electrically damaged, although I can read out its ID? Soldering it out is what I want to do last! Check whether CS#, DO are connected by pull-ups with an ohmmeter when the system is shut down. I think I saw a board where CS# was wired that way. That way you can actively drive down CS# and be fine. However, I'd at least check whether there's bus activity before doing anything... cheers, Arian

[patch] serprog hangs under FreeBSD
by Michael Zhilin Dec. 2, 2016

Dec. 2, 2016

Hi, This is attached patch to avoid hang of serprog under FreeBSD. Patch is against trunk (r1955, 10 context lines). My use case is flashrom+serprog to read SPI flash (MX25L6406) via Arduino Nano V3. Actual command is: /usr/local/bin/flashrom -p serprog:dev=/dev/cuaU0:57600 -c MX25L6406E/MX25L6408E -r tcw770.dump Using flashrom 0.9.9 it hangs after 5 seconds on read from tty ("ttyin"). The problem is that kernel method "ttydisc_rint" ignore same bytes. It happens due to enabled IEXTEN local flag of termios. TTY cuts few bytes, Arduino reads 11264 bytes, but flashrom gets 11244 bytes (corrupted) and waits for remaining 20 bytes. The fix is simple: turn off IEXTEN local flag. Tested on Arduino Nano V3 + FreeBSD 12-CURRENT. But I didn't check compilation on other BSD / Linux distros. Could you please test it and let me know results? Signed-off-by: Michael Zhilin <mizhka(a)gmail.com> I've added signed-off-by here, because I don't know how to add it into svn patch. It's my first patch, so please let me know if i miss anything. Thanks, Michael!
