I've been looking at updating the EC for the IT8587 and IT8987 SuperIO controllers from userspace.
Hmm, I have the ITE IT8585 and IT8987 chips here.
I see that there are it87spi and ite85spi modules in flashrom, but as I understand it they are using the ITE chip to write the system firmware over SPI (e.g. the 4MiB BIOS) rather than the 128KiB internal e-flash.
The it85spi driver is commented out in code, apparently because it relies on firmware-specific functions. AFAIK, there isn't much to read the internal flash on ECs, other than the ENE KB9012's via EDI.
Whilst I now have a datasheet, I
For those chips? I'm interested in them: How did you obtain them?
don't want to implement code that someone else has already done. If anyone knows any pointers to any code or documentation I'd be very grateful. Thanks.
I don't think much has been done for the internal flash on these ICs on flashrom. For instance, I didn't know the IT8987 had an internal flash.
