Author: hailfinger Date: Fri Nov 5 15:51:59 2010 New Revision: 1225 URL: http://flashrom.org/trac/flashrom/changeset/1225 Log: Avoid two memory leaks in doit() which were unproblematic for flashrom because flashrom terminates after finishing doit(). Rename oldcontents to curconents in erase_and_write_block_helper(). Unify the code for all granularities in get_next_write(). Return write length from get_next_write() instead of filling it as referenced parameter. Thanks to Michael Karcher for pointing out the first two issues. Thanks to David Hendricks for pointing out the third issue and suggesting a way to unify that code.

info test run for socket 939 board mATX MSI 6100-939
by M Capoferri 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

Hi, I installed flashrom last night and ran the plain command and one with -V just to see what it dumped. I'm a non-pro and was forced into learning linux after having all of my machines infected by an eeprom based rootkit four years ago. It infected eight new motherboards and a few old machines before I gave up (read went broke!) and mutilple peripherals. I was unable to connect to the net between Aug 2006 and Jan 2009. I was finally able to reconnect after getting OpenSUSE 10.3 to sucessfully install to a hard drive (coincidently, the same time the new linux module, Policykit started trials I believe). Failed after 4 weeks but was able to maintain connection using live distros. I remain infected to this day (only partial root control) as some kind of minimal kernal or control framework using busybox is still in my eeprom and hooks control of all hardware. This prevented me from reflashing my BIOS on any of the boards and believe me, i tried multiple times. I'm hoping to try and reflash this or one of my three Asus boards that are on the Coreboot approved list. I'll let you know if i succeed, if I can ever figure out what I'm doing. I'm 56, so it's a little tougher especially as I was never in IT until I started building my own machines a couple of years before the malware hit. I've attached the terminal out as both pdf and txt file (8859-1), and I guess I don't have to warn you to scan them, though i am using gmail. Cheers, Mark Capoferri Ardmore, Pennsylvania US

Asus M2N
by Miguel Angel GSM 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

I hope that this helps. I have one question. Is it safe for me to write the much newer version 0808 of the BIOS (that I downloaded from ASUS) with my actual settings? I ask because of the following sentence while running flashrom: "Found chipset "NVIDIA MCP61", enabling flash write... chipset PCI ID is 10de:03e0, This chipset is not really supported yet. Guesswork..."

[PATCH] Real partial writes
by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

If you're going to review this, make sure you keep a stack of bananas (quickly mobilized carbohydrates for your brain), a bucket of ice (to prevent brain overheating) and a bottle of aspirin handy. If any code is unclear, please tell me and I'll try to add comments to improve readability. If you're going to test this, please be advised that I have not tested execution, only compilation. Testing erase (and checking with a separate readback that erase actually worked) and write (same test with separate readback) would be highly appreciated. Verbose logs are even more appreciated. This patch makes flashrom use real partial writes. If you write an image full of 0xff, flashrom will erase and detect that no write is needed. If you write an image which differs only in some parts from the current flash contents, flashrom will detect that and not touch unchanged areas.

If you write an image full of 0xff, flashrom will erase and detect that no write is needed. If you write an image which differs only in some parts from the current flash contents, flashrom will detect that and not touch unchanged areas. Fix a long-standing bug in need_erase() for 256 byte granularity as well. Nice side benefit: Detailed progress printing. S means skipped E means erased W means written Thanks to Andrew Morgan for testing countless iterations of this patch. Thanks to Richard A. Smith for testing on Dediprog SF100. Thanks to David Hendricks for the review and for creating a partial write torture test script and testing with it on Intel NM10 and AMD SB700 SPI.

ASRock ALiveXFire-eSATA2 rev 3.0
by Kjell Braden 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

Hi, I've got a new ASRock AliveXFire-eSATA2 rev 3.0 board. Chip/chipset are detected fine but erasing doesn't seem to work. Most relevant parts of the logs: Detection: **** snip **** Found chipset "AMD SB600", enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: LPC,FWH. Found chip "Winbond W39V040(F)C" (512 KB, LPC) at physical address 0xfff80000. === This flash part has status UNTESTED for operations: PROBE READ ERASE WRITE **** snip **** Read/Verify works fine. Erase: **** snip **** Erasing flash chip... Looking at blockwise erase function 0... trying... 0x000000-0x00ffff, ERASE FAILED at 0x00007408! Expected=0xff, Read=0x48, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x0000ffff: 0x891b ERASE FAILED! Looking at blockwise erase function 1... trying... 0x000000-0x07ffff, ERASE FAILED at 0x00007408! Expected=0xff, Read=0x48, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x0007ffff: 0x679cd ERASE FAILED! Looking at blockwise erase function 2... not defined. Looking for another erase function. Looking at blockwise erase function 3... not defined. Looking for another erase function. Looking at blockwise erase function 4... not defined. Looking for another erase function. Looking at blockwise erase function 5... not defined. Looking for another erase function. FAILED! **** snip **** Verify succeeds afterwards, the board is still perfectly fine. Let me know if you need any more information or testing. Regards, Kjell
