80/100/132 column line width policy
by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 15 Dec '18

15 Dec '18

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]

Re: [flashrom] FAILED: Soraka DVT1
by David Hendricks 27 Apr '18

Hello Hongxia, Were you able to get in touch with someone on the chromiumos team? It appears that you attempted to write the entire firmware ROM, but it failed to write the flash descriptor region. You should target the region(s) you want updated using the -i option, along with --fast-verify, so that flashrom does not attempt to write and verify regions that it might not have access to.

WinBond Chip Support
by Jordan Hill 17 Apr '18

17 Apr '18

Hello there, I have a Dell Inspiron 5559 Laptop which contains a Winbond 25Q128FVSQ Chip. I tried running flashrom natively on the laptop and got the usual EC warning so i stopped there. I then desoldered the SMD chip off the motherboard and hooked it up to a RPI and connected it through the SPI protocol. Flashrom then recognized it as a "Generic" flash chip and would not allow the data to be read as it was still unrecognized. Unfortunately I do not have any logs. I believe that this chip is … [View More]
