[PATCH 7/7] (not for merge) Fix the "Use layout for verify operations too" patch in a hacky way
by Stefan Tauner 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

if you look at the second half of doit with this patch applied, it is quite clear, that most of it should be guarded by a huge if(write_it) clause. maybe move this into a function?

[PATCH 5/7] Use layout for read operations too
by Stefan Tauner 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Previously using layout files was useful for write operations only, for reads it was ignored. This patch added layout handling for reads. Based on the "Add -i <image>[:<file>] support" patch this one will output the selected regions to files. If the optional argument is given it is used as a file name, else the image name will be used. --- TODO: man page side note: the execution path of forced reads is wrong or at least worth a look. it does not use doit() but calls read_flash_to_file() directly.

[PATCH 4/7] Make read before write configurable (infrastructure part)
by Stefan Tauner 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

- Introduce a variable in doit() that allows to influence read-before-write and its consequences. - Rename handle_romentries to build_new_image and a description of its purpose. - Modify build_new_image so that it still works even if the old content is not read before. - Add copy_old_content() to ease the pain for future patches. Signed-off-by: Stefan Tauner <stefan.tauner(a)student.tuwien.ac.at> Signed-off-by: Carl-Daniel Hailfinger <c-d.hailfinger.devel.2006(a)gmx.net> --- TODO: add UI This is completely wrong. When the user wants to skip most of the chip AND wants to avoid the safety net, it makes no sense at all to read most of the chip in build_new_image. This is needed because the write/skip logic works by comparing the old content with the new content. In the case that old content is already known (because we have read the whole chip before), this is no problem and even nice from a architectural point of view. Allowing to skip the reading breaks the concept though. This patch provides the ugly code that is necessary so that this concept does not explode. It does not fix the concept itself. In the case the user wants to write the whole chip, this provides a real benefit. The smaller the region is that he wants to update, the smaller the benefit becomes. The real solution would be to provide the erase and write logic not just a complete image, from which it can deduce what it can and should skip, but also a layout-like map of what the user wants to be changed (or something similar that allows the following). If the old contents are known, then fine, but if not, read only the parts needed due to erase block overheads and not everything unnecessarily. --- flash.h | 2 +- flashrom.c | 42 ++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- layout.c | 30 +++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 3 files changed, 48 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) diff --git a/flash.h b/flash.h index f2988bc..eb5f144 100644 --- a/flash.h +++ b/flash.h @@ -258,7 +258,7 @@ int cli_classic(int argc, char *argv[]); int register_include_arg(char *name); int process_include_args(void); int read_romlayout(char *name); -int handle_romentries(struct flashchip *flash, uint8_t *oldcontents, uint8_t *newcontents); +int build_new_image(struct flashchip *flash, int oldcontents_valid, uint8_t *oldcontents, uint8_t *newcontents); /* spi.c */ struct spi_command { diff --git a/flashrom.c b/flashrom.c index ad1e042..564d815 100644 --- a/flashrom.c +++ b/flashrom.c @@ -1871,6 +1871,7 @@ int doit(struct flashchip *flash, int force, const char *filename, int read_it, uint8_t *newcontents; int ret = 0; unsigned long size = flash->total_size * 1024; + int read_all_first = 1; /* FIXME: Make this configurable. */ if (chip_safety_check(flash, force, read_it, write_it, erase_it, verify_it)) { msg_cerr("Aborting.\n"); @@ -1937,28 +1938,27 @@ int doit(struct flashchip *flash, int force, const char *filename, int read_it, /* Read the whole chip to be able to check whether regions need to be * erased and to give better diagnostics in case write fails. - * The alternative would be to read only the regions which are to be + * The alternative is to read only the regions which are to be * preserved, but in that case we might perform unneeded erase which * takes time as well. */ - msg_cinfo("Reading old flash chip contents...

[PATCH 0/7] every layout handling feature you ever wanted to see but never cared to implement
by Stefan Tauner 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

well the subject is a bit exaggerated and kinky, but i think layouts (not the write/read protection thingy carl-daniel wrote about lately, but the -l option) could be much more useful. especially for systems that are quite locked down (ICH/PCH...). with this patch set it is possible to - use -i and -l parameters in any order - specify a file for each image (so there is no need to create a full image beforehand) - use layout files for reading - use layout files for verifying some may need some refinements, and man page entries of course, but i wanted to post this now. first for thomas from GE because he asked for it and secondly to discuss if it is the right way to do this at all :) things to improve (either in the future or in a refined form of this patches): - reduce the footprint of the romlayout_t struct by not holding the whole strings but only references to strduped strings. - make the file parameter for -w, -r, -v optional if there are -i file names specified. - see 4/7 comments. Stefan Tauner (7): layout: change return type and name of find_next_included_romentry Add deferred -i processing layout: Add -i <image>[:<file>] support Make read before write configurable (infrastructure part) Use layout for read operations too Use layout for verify operations too (not for merge) Fix the "Use layout for verify operations too" patch in a hacky way cli_classic.c | 10 +-- flash.h | 13 +++- flashrom.c | 149 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ layout.c | 193 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ 4 files changed, 279 insertions(+), 86 deletions(-)

Asus Crosshair IV Extreme: flashrom -V
by Christophe Poncy 19 Aug '11

Hi, I would love to replace the bios for my mother board but I didn't find any coreboot suitable for the Asus Crosshair IV Extreme. I just wanted to let you know that I am available to test any builds in development. # Products info: AMD 890FX/SB850 Crosshair IV Extreme (ASUS mobo) http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3/Crosshair_IV_Extreme/ http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/chipsets/8-series-integrated/Pages/a… # ./flashrom -r -L flashrom v0.9.4-r1395 on Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (x86_64), built with libpci 3.1.7, GCC 4.4.5, little endian flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chipset "AMD SB700/SB710/SB750/SB850". Enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: LPC, FWH, SPI. Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q16" (2048 kB, SPI) at physical address 0xffe00000. Reading flash... done. # ./flashrom -V (results are attached) Best regards, -- Support free software!
