[flashrom] [PATCH 5/6] sbxxx: Add spispeed parameter.

Sat Aug 10 03:45:56 CEST 2013


Allow to set the SPI clock frequency on AMD chipsets with a programmer
parameter. If the parameter is given (and matches a possible value), the
SPI clock is set temporarily. Both registers are restored on programmer
shutdown.

Example: ./flashrom -p internal:spispeed="33 MHz" -V

Possible values for spispeed are "16.5 MHz", "22 MHz", "33 MHz", "66 MHz",
"100 MHZ" and "800 kHz" depending on the chipset generation.

+An optional

+.B frequency
+can be
+.BR "'16.5\ MHz'" ", " "'22\ MHz'" ", " "'33\ MHz'" ", " "'66\ MHz'" ", " "'100\ MHZ'" ", or " "'800\ kHz'" "."
+Support of individual frequencies depends on the generation of the chipset:
+.sp
+* SB6xx, SB7xx, SP5xxx: from 16.5 MHz up to and including 33 MHz
+.sp
+* SB8xx, SB9xx, Hudson: from 16.5 MHz up to and including 66 MHz
+.sp
+* Yangtze (with SPI 100 engine as found in Kabini and Tamesh): all of them
+.sp
+The default is to use 16.5 MHz and disable Fast Reads.
