Hi all,
I've tested flashrom with a new chip, the AMIC A25L80P. This is a 1 MB SPI chip that seems to be straightforwardly related to the AMIC A25L40PU, which has half the capacity but is otherwise identical. (Found datasheet at http://www.datasheetarchive.com/pdf/getfile.php?dir=Datasheet-078&file=D...http://www.datasheetarchive.com/pdf/getfile.php?dir=Datasheet-078&file=DSAE0062726.pdf&scan=n%29).
I am attaching a patch, as well as the output of flashrom -VE, -Vr, and -Vw run on this chip with the patch in place. I'm programming it via the AMD SB7x0 interface.
Everything works fine... at least, I used it to upgrade my BIOS and I've been able to reboot ;-)
I also attempted to test the block-by-block erase/write capabilities, which seemed to work as well... but I'm less familiar with how to use these properly.
Thanks for this great software, and I hope this patch is helpful,
Dan

My patch should have indicated the tested, working status of this chip. Sorry, here's a fixed one.

Could I interest you in implementing support for all other AMIC A25 series chips as well? Even if you can't test those, it would expand flashrom coverage a lot.

Sure, I can do that. Patch for AMIC A25L{05,10,20,40,16}{T,U} and generic AMIC is attached, as well as a pretty-printer for their status register.

Now here's a strange thing: The datasheets for these parts, which come in many different versions with errata, are riddled with and omissions and weird descriptions, probably due to quick-and-dirty copy-pasting by whoever's writing/translating them.
A quick search of Datasheetarchive.com suggests that the following parts exist: A25L05P[TU] - ID 2020/2010 (T/U) A25L10P[TU] - ID 2021/2011 (T/U) A25L20P[TU] - ID 2022/2012 (T/U) A25L40P[TU] - ID 2013 (Datasheet says U *and* T parts have same ID) A25L80P - ID 2014 (only U parts exist, AFAICT) A25L16P[TU] - ID 2025/2015 (T/U)
I'm willing to bet that A25L40PT actually has the device ID 2023, and *not* 2013. So my attached patch modifies the device ID for the A25L40PT accordingly. I note that Erase is untested for the A25L40P[TU]... if someone has a part with device ID 2013, I'd love to know if its erase behavior works as expected.

Hi,
I checked with those two PT and PU chips A25L40. I think they still report with your patch as same chip:

Very interesting... so they really do both report the same model_ID of 0x2013.
What happens if you try to selectively write or erase only the bottom 4 KB of each chip? * If it works on the PU chip (bottom boot block) but fails on the PT chip (top boot block), then it looks like their erase block granularity is accurately described by the data sheet, although there's no way to distinguish them by RDID. * If it /works/ on both, then that suggests that the 40PT chip is in fact /identical/ to the 40PU chip.
Check attachment for full log. I had to delete AMIC A25L16 because it had some typo...
Sorry about that. Due to a mailer crash and my noob confusion, I ended up sending two patches, one of which was functional, and one of which was not. The correct, complete patch is attached to this message, but it should not be applied yet if the 40PU and 40PT chips really do turn out to be distinct parts with the same RDID.

Well I tried to write there 512KB of zeros using -c A25L40PT with PT chip then erase with -E -c A25L40PT
This works fine. Same with PU chip with -c A25L40PU. However if there is some combination of non-agreeing chips/params I got hard lockup of whole computer.
With PU chip, written all 0's with right switch and then erasing PT param:
ruiktest:~/flashrom# ./flashrom -VE -c A25L40PT Erasing flash chip... Looking at blockwise erase function 0... trying... 0x000000-0x00ffff, ERASE FAILED at 0x00001000! Expected=0xff, Read=0x00, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x0000ffff: 0xf000 ERASE FAILED!
Looking at blockwise erase function 1... trying... 0x000000-0x07ffff,

It hangs pretty solid, keyboard non-responsive.

Okay, so write/erase works fine with the setting that matches the chip in hand?

This is really useful to know! The blockwise erase function fails at the 4 K (0x1000) mark. The flashrom program expects to erase a 64 K segment (0x10000) because it thinks it is talking to a PT chip, but it only gets 4 K erased, because the chip is really a PU. That makes sense!
What about the reverse case? What if you put in the PT chip and tell flashrom that it's a PU? flashrom -VE -c A25L40PU In this case, it should fail when it tries to erase the /upper/ region of the memory, because flashrom is expecting to erase a 64 K chunk, but only getting 4 K since it is really a top boot block chip.
If that's really what happens... then I am convinced once and for all that the PT and PU really are distinct chips!

I don't understand why it hangs... I guess this is an issue with your chipset?

I think i did that too.

Yes they are ;) the markings tells so.

Yes it might be a flaw in VT8237S. Those non-uniform flashes are not used in bioses anyway, so I would not make it a big deal.

Well, okay, it's settled... I'll change my patch back to indicate the same RDID values for these two chips.

Haha, indeed :) But what a dumb design... the two chips have the same RDID but different erase layout. And for no good reason, since the company that makes them has an established pattern of distinguishing erase layouts based on a bit in the RDID code.

Thanks for all the testing.
Yeah, I'm definitely making a mountain of a molehill. I'll bet there is someone somewhere, though, who will mix these chips up in an embedded system, and accidentally trash the boot block... :-(

Hi Daniel,
thanks for your patch.
Could I interest you in implementing support for all other AMIC A25 series chips as well? Even if you can't test those, it would expand flashrom coverage a lot.
Sure, I can do that. Patched attached, for A25L{05,10,20,40,80,16}P{T,U}, as well as generic AMIC and a pretty-printer function for their status register.

Now here's something weird: the AMIC datasheets, which have lots of errata and different versions, are riddled with strange errors and omissions, probably due to quick-and-dirty copy-and-pasting by whoever's writing or translating them.
A quick search of Datasheetarchive.com suggests that the following parts exist: A25L05P[TU] - ID 2020/2010 (T/U) A25L10P[TU] - ID 2021/2011 (T/U) A25L20P[TU] - ID 2022/2012 (T/U) A25L40P[TU] - ID 2013 (Datasheet says same ID for U *and* T) A25L80P - ID 2014 (No T exists, it seems) A25L16P[TU] - ID 2025/2015 (T/U)
I'm willing to bet that A25L40PT has the device ID 2023, and *not* 2013. The only way to distinguish it from the A25L40PU would be by selective block erasing, and it appears that Erase is untested for those chips. So, my patch changes the model_ID for A25L40PT to be 2023, as I think it should be according to the pattern, rather than 2013 as the datasheet claims.
