flashrom on NetBSD 8 and apu2?
by Greg Troxel 03 Apr '21

03 Apr '21

I have a PC Engines apu2d4 running NetBSD 8 (amd64), and would like to update coreboot/etc. on it. I searched the list (perhaps not well) and didn't find any reports of success, although I realize things are generally expected to work so success might well go unreported. I am using flashrom 1.1 as built from pkgsrc. I was able to read the existing bios without issues as: flashrom --programmer internal -r 20200301-readflash.rom Before I try to write, I am wondering if anyone has successfully done an apu2 bios update with flashrom under NetBSD 8 amd64? (I have a debricking adaptor (spi1a) and will prepare a Linux flashing image on USB before trying myself, whether I not a get a report of success.) Thanks, Greg

Humble request for advice

Greetings! Thanks for creating such wonderful tool. i would like to ask for a suggestion as developers of the tool will be the best one to ask. Basically i am trying to flash efi chip on imac, micronix MX25L6406E/MX25L6408E but just can't get any readings.... i got an working macbook with same chip and once i connect to it, everything works like charm. i was able to read file from working macbook 10 times(8/10 checksum matched!). So i can assume my setup is correct! But no luck reading same chip from imac motherboard. Could you please suggest anything? Could it be that: 1) because chip is on password locked chip is not readable? (doesn't make sense though, right?) 2) maybe chip is faulty? which is very unlikely 3) could it be because chip is on motherboard and unsoldering it would help? 4) i am currently reading chip with sudo flashrom -r oldefi1.bin -V -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0 maybe there is some additional arguments, i should try. Regards, Sergio

Hi, I'm the asker of this question: https://superuser.com/questions/1613342/why-do-windows-updates-make-linux-r… I was hoping to use `flashrom` to gather before/after dumps, which I can (hopefully) compare to get to the bottom of my problem. When I run: `sudo flashrom --programmer internal` I get this: --- begin output --- flashrom on Linux 4.19.0-13-amd64 (x86_64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns). Found chipset "AMD FP4". Enabling flash write... FCH device found but SMBus revision 0x59 does not match known values. Please report this to flashrom(a)flashrom.org and include this log and the output of lspci -nnvx, thanks!. Could not determine chipset generation.PROBLEMS, continuing anyway No EEPROM/flash device found. Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically. --- end output --- the output of lspci is attached. Thanks, Matt

Could not determine chipset generation.PROBLEMS, continuing anyway ======================================================================== You seem to be running flashrom on an unknown laptop. Some internal buses have been disabled for safety reasons. 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 https://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. ======================================================================== No EEPROM/flash device found. Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically.

Fwd: Unrecognized SMBus revision
by Clay Daniels 17 Dec '20

17 Dec '20

--------- Forwarded message --------- From: Clay Daniels <clay.daniels.jr(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Dec 17, 2020 at 10:06 AM Subject: Re: [flashrom] Unrecognized SMBus revision To: Edward O'Callaghan (Code Review) <gerrit(a)coreboot.org> Please let me retract part of what I said, which is incorrect: "I do have one who has an 0x51 board with a 0x51 board which is the other email from/to Jean-Paul Crespy. The 0x51 was also listed in Rene Rebe's patch from the flashrom list of Oct 12." First , Jean-Paul Crespy, nor any other of those I know of, have an "0x51" board. This only appears in Rene Rebe's email of Oct 12, supposedly in reference to a friend's AMD Ryzen 4000 Mobile. I could not find a definite revision # for his friend's Ryzen 4000, but it is a relatively new machine and likely 0x61. See: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ogbl#label/coreboot%2Fflashrom/WhctKJWHzS… I sat down and put what data I had into a small file, and this is what I have: Clay Daniels <clay.daniels.jr(a)gmail.com> 0x61 X570 MSI Rene Rebe <rene(a)exactcode.com> 0x61 X570 Asus Julian Labus <julian(a)labus-online.de> 0x61 X570 Gigabyte AORUS madsys <madsys(a)gmail.com> 0x61 X570 ASUS Jean-Paul Crespy <jean-paul.crespy(a)laposte.net> 0x61 绅士无双 <hentaiwushuang(a)gmail.com> 0x61 X570 MSI romain <roms2000(a)free.fr> 0x61 B450 ASRockRack B450D4U-V1L Boggy <mrboggy(a)gmail.com> 0x59 X470 Asus Branko <brankob(a)s5tehnika.net> 0x59 X470 MSI Gergely Tomka <tomkatudor(a)gmail.com> 0x59 X370 ASRock I think Rene Rebe is mistaken, and I just blindly copied his work. Anyway, the upshot is that what you have done is entirely correct, and needs no further addition of any "0x51" board. Thanks again for all your good work, Clay Daniels
