However, we will add the new names to the in-program (and hence
wiki) database so that this new information becomes public. Thanks for
the heads up, Victor.

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.
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" (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,
FOSDEM 2017 deadlines are soon.
Do we want to have a full developer room, a talk or just a stand?
Unfortunately I won't be able to attend, so someone else will have to be
the formal contact for organizing our stand/devroom/talk. I will help
with submitting proposals if this is desired by the person organizing
our stand/devroom/...
Who is willing to take care of our FOSDEM 2017 presence?
https://fosdem.org/2017/news/2016-07-20-call-for-participation/
Deadlines:
Developer Rooms: 9 September
Main Track Talks: 10 October
Stands: 31 October
Lightning talks: 25 November

Carl-Daniel
Hi, I got your emails just fine, I just didn't have time to sit down and write a proper reply but I'm very enthusiasic about working with you !

This is interesting! I still haven't been able to reproduce the issue (but
haven't tried so hard either). Could you indicate whether you are:
* grounding pin 42 to go into test mode
* powering the mainboard

Your flash chip is in an unknown state.
Please report this on IRC at chat.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or
mail flashrom(a)flashrom.org, thanks!
I tried the flashEROm for an older computer A7V266, at the moment it has
the 1011 flash installed, I am intending to try the 1015: only to see if
there are any features that provide more options, such as boot from USB or
set NUMLOCK, which at the moment it does have for either one (USB or
NUMLOCK)
The last flash offer available from global server, not the USA support
site, although the link was provided for other locations..
Good day! I just tried reading from KB9012 and encountered exactly the same
problem as Joerg Albert has (
https://www.flashrom.org/pipermail/flashrom/2016-May/014653.html ) - chip
is detected only every second time. This is not caused by cabling. While it
is recommended for SPI that the wires should be shorter than 20cm, my wires
are 11 cm: 8 cm of which is 12 strands high quality copper and only 3 cm
are ordinary aluminium inside the 30 pin 0.5mm pitch keyboard-like connector
NOTE: it was much easier and safer to solder 1P wires to this connector
rather than to motherboard, and you could remove/insert it at any time -
what a great convenience! The only 1P wire I had to solder to motherboard
is to motherboard's ground, - to make it possible to unite three grounds
(motherboard s, KB9012 s and programmer s) - and that was really easy
because at least one of these orange circle grounds has a great distance
between it and motherboard's elements so it is difficult to screw up there
:) Going to share photos and write some manuals about connectivity,
hopefully helpful to the people like me who want to participate in Origami
EC project - creation of open source firmware for KB9012 which in case of
success will be a HUGE step towards Lenovo G505S liberation (AMD laptop
with coreboot support) . Discovered Paul's presentation talk by pure
accident - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B708jdCiW7o
So I tried using two SPI programmers: 1) CH341A . 2) Bus Pirate v4 . The
only observed difference is a speed: for CH341A read takes 13-14 minutes,
while for BPv4 - despite the latest 7.0 firmware with level 3 optimizations
( http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Bus_Pirate#Download ) and SPI speed
is 8 MHz - it takes 40 minutes to read! Checksums of the files are the same
and the files have almost the same contains as KB9012 image for LA-A091P
G505S that I found online (same except the area 0x1d000 - 0x1e0f0, their
image is filled with 0xff there, mine has many 0x00 with a few 0xff and
also data - probably encoded serial number and similar stuff) , so I am
pretty sure these programmers both are reading without errors in my setup,
just at the different speeds for some weird reason
Patches applied before testing:
1) https://patchwork.coreboot.org/patch/4412/
2) https://patchwork.coreboot.org/patch/4413/
3) https://patchwork.coreboot.org/patch/4414/
This problem with 1/2 detection rate is not a blocker, more like a small
inconvenience, so I strongly believe that these patches should be merged as
soon as possible! Paul Kocialkowski has committed them almost a year ago,
such a major feature and still not merged??
Below you could see some -VVV detection logs.
After reading this really inspiring article (
http://code.paulk.fr/article25/an-incentive-for-liberating-computers-my-o...
) I guess that Paul's motherboard is LA-A092P, very similar to LA-A091P but
no extra GPU. Could that be a reason he is not getting a detection problem?
Just a wild guess...
