Re: Support for GD25LR512ME flash chip.

[Vlim]

Thanks, Avinash,

Can you advise which board are you using?
I have tested this patch with the USB programmer only since I do not have access to the motherboard.

Hi, Flashrom team,
Can you also help on this?

Hi Victor,

Thanks for sharing the patch. Here is an update after trying the shared patch.

Now, Flashrom can detect the flash chip.
Using dediprog programmer I can read/write the flash chip successfully.
Whereas with using the internal programmer i.e. "-p internal" the read/write is failing. I am attaching the log here.
Please give your input on this.

Once again! Thanks for your help!

Hi, Avinash,

Sorry that I am working on adding this part to Flashrom, but has not completed the entire process.

Can you please use the attached flashchips.c and flashshchips.h and replace that in flashrom distribution?

This is the process.

git clone "https://review.coreboot.org/flashrom"

meson setup builddir
meson compile -C builddir
meson test -C builddir
meson install -C builddir

Please also refer to the following link for compilation of the code.
https://flashrom.org/dev_guide/building_from_source.html

I have a compiled version for Ubuntu Linux, if that will help, I can share with you.

Hi,

Currently, flash chip support for GD25LR512ME is not supported in flashrom utility.
Please share a patch if it is already available. If not let me know how I can modify it.

Support for GD25LR512ME flash chip.

Avinash, I read the thread and I see you are saying "I am attaching
the log here" but I don't see the log? maybe you can re-send it again,
now with the mailing list? (perhaps you sent it to Victor only?)
Yes it is also important to know your board, since you are saying the
chip worked successfully with dediprog, but not with the internal
programmer.

Victor, thank you so much for helping!

Support for GD25LR512ME flash chip.

[Anastasia Klimchuk]

There is another thing, in addition to my previous message.

I looked into the patch which adds chip definitions (this one
https://review.coreboot.org/c/flashrom/+/58025) and the reason it is
pending is there are no links to datasheets (old links are not working
anymore).
It is unfortunate that the patch is pending since 2021, but I want to
try to fix the situation now, in the year 2024.

Victor, maybe you know, is it possible to find datasheets for
GD25LR256E and GD251R512ME? I could finish the old patch and get chips
into the tree.

This is a separate question to Avinash's issue with internal
programmer, but for this we need the very verbose log (which is log
with -VVV option on command line).

Thank you!
