There are a number of similar chips (Pm25LQ020, Pm25LQ040, Pm25LQ080, Pm25LQ016).

I just wanted to make sure everything is fine, hence my question. I have marked the flash chip as fully tested and will commit that later together with other small changes. Sorry for the delay. -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner

The problem is/was the last hunk. I guess you have opened the patch file in an editor that removes white space at the end of lines. The patch application does not seem to care but git-am does.

This is also an error in the existing definition of the GD25LQ32. Apart from these repeated copy & paste errors it looks good. Please fix them so that I can commit your first flashrom contribution, thanks!

Hi, I think you have found an old but still unsupported flash chip in that server. From some lines in the log output I think it is plausible that it is a Macronix MX29LV320DT or MX29LV321DT. It would be great if you could verify that visually if that's possible. I can probably add support for the chip without too much problems... but I am not sure if you would want to test it on that hardware if it is somewhat important to you...? :) -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner

I don't think that flashrom is the right tool for the job of writing the flash memory of a microcontroller. Usually there are dedicated tools for this... but I guess the 78k0s are not really popular? You can of course use flashrom or at least its serial.c as a base for your tool. The protocol seems to be documented in a public application note: http://documentation.renesas.com/doc/DocumentServer/U17739EJ3V0AN00.pdf I am not sure about pulses thing. AFAICT the flash mode is enabled if FLMD0 is high when reset is released. I am however unsure if the following pulses on the same pin (FLMD0) are to be output by the programmer or are a way for the chip to indicate how it needs to be accessed... the language in the AN is abysmal. I would apply VCC to FLMD0 on reset release with a pull-up resistor and measure if the chip outputs anything on the port... Anyway this is rather off-topic... good luck with your project! -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner

Linux Raspberry PI B - Spansion FL256S

Hi, I use the latest version of flashrom from github: "flashrom v0.9.8-r1887 on Linux 3.18.10+ (armv6l)" that I had built on a Raspberry PI B. When I run the command line "flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0" to probe a SPI Flash memory chip soldered on a board (I use a a clip test probe) I get the message: 'Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip (RDID)" (0 kB, SPI) on linux_spi.' The Flash chip is a 32 MB Spansion memory. On the chip is written « FL256SAIF00 SPANSION ». I have attached the output log from flashrom. Thanks, Best regards, Pascal de Marichalar

Hi, I've used flashrom with pickit2 in past. I'm a newbie but I'd like to add support for this MCUs by myself. On Internet exist some parallel programmer but I want to program a 78k0s flash my with the uart protocol. We're can I start from? It requires some vpp pulses to enable the uart programming mode.

W836xx: To be filled by O.E.M.: flashrom -V
by Florian Schroeter 29 Mar '15

Dear flashrom Developers, I am writing you because I want to set up a proper Linux on my Laptop, which I imported from china. It's clearly an imitation of some Acer Aspire One Model. When I got it, the packaging was labeled as "Spire One"... W-Lan and Bluetooth, sound, battery state and brightness controls as well as function keys seem to work under windows but not under Linux. I guess the ACPI tables provided by the hardware do poorly support any OS different from Microsoft Windows. I had hoped that a BIOS update could maybe fix the buggy ACPI tables but wasn't able to update the bios using flashrom. As suggested by your tool I'll put the verbose output of flashrom into the attachment. Kind regards Florian Schröter

Support for programming device on SPI via USB bridge?
by Robert Selby 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Hi, just found FlashRom and looks to be a good base to start from for my needs. I have a USB->SPI bridge device (MCP2210) and on it's SPI bus is a "S25FL128S" device. It looks as though there is no direct support for accessing via the MCP2210. I assume that I would need to write a "programmer" to get this to work ??? I have a MCP2210 access library that seems to work well via "/dev/hidraw". Any advice/recommendations very welcome. It may be that someone has already done this ...
