new chip: AMIC A25L80P

[Daniel Lenski]

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.

Your patch looks mostly fine. Please add a sign-off according to
http://www.coreboot.org/Development_Guidelines#Sign-off_Procedure

Also, please use tabs instead of spaces before the comment in flashchips.h.

Except for the tab issue, the patch is

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.  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.

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,

<hang>

It hangs pretty solid, keyboard non-responsive.

Rudolf

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.
