Chip size
by EvilGremlin 07 May '19

Hello! Can you change chip size verification? At least for SPI EEPROMs, that i flash almost every day, chip size doesn't really matter. I find it really annoying, that i cannot flash 32Mb image to 64Mb chip and there is no option to force it. So i have to boot Windows or edit image just for that. Almost any other software can do that just fine. So, can you add force key or warning message with (yes/no) option. Default "yes", of course.

Intel Atom E3845

Hello, I'm working on Opencellular (https://code.fb.com/connectivity/introducing-opencellular-an-open-source-wi…) which is based on Intel Atom E3845. I have built the coreboot image and would like to flash onto the Opencellular board. Could you tell how to flash only onto the BIOS region using Flashrom? Thank you, in advance.

Green CH341A didn't work, turned out it's a badly soldered CS leg. Fixed now ;-)

My spare green CH341A almost always was unable to find a chip. Luckily I have another working CH341A, so started comparing them with a multimeter : When a "healthy" CH341A is simply plugged into a USB port, without any chips connected, there is a 3.15V - 3.3V voltage between GND hole and other 7 holes at 25xx socket. But a "glitchy" CH341A, when put to the same situation, did not have a ~3V voltage difference between GND and CS pin. Then I checked a resistance between CS leg of CH341A chip ( found it using this document - https://www.onetransistor.eu/2017/08/ch341a-mini-programmer-schematic.html ) and CS pin at the bottom of programmer (instead of CS hole for convenience) - it was almost always "infinite", but sometimes - when I pushed CS leg with a multimeter pin - there was a close to 0 Ohm resistance, almost zero. So I did a small soldering of CH341A CS leg, see a picture https://i.redd.it/mfrgs45beuv21.jpg - luckily this CS leg is at the corner of chip so was quite convenient to solder - and now this CH341A is happy and working perfectly! ;-) Will flash many BIOSes :3

Success in writing to AT29C010A via 3Com 905B
by Quinn Plattel 03 May '19

Hi, Just want to report that I have now had many successes in reading and writing to the following roms via the 3Com 905B network card: ATMEL AT29C010A 120ns ATMEL AT29C512 120ns The ATMEL AT29C010A 70ns do fail probably because of the speed. I have tested with both the iPXE and XTIDE open source projects. -- Best regards/Ystävällisin terveisin/Med venlig hilsen, Quinn Plattel

Outdated command-line stability warning
by Charles Daffern 30 Apr '19

30 Apr '19

Hello flashrom people, I just wanted to bring a small triviality to your attention: currently, `flashrom --help' warns the user that the command line interface is due to change before v1.0, but we have already passed that version. It is a very trivial change, but for convenience's sake I will attach a patch for `git apply'.
