* --force may have been a good idea back when only developers were usinghailfinger2010-04-281-8/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | flashrom, but over the last few months we've seen too many people who incorrectly believed that --force would solve anything. One of the problems is that --force had multiple meanings: - Force chip read by faking probe success. - Force chip access even if the chip is bigger than max decode size for the flash bus. - Force erase even if erase is known bad. - Force write even if write is known bad. - Force writing even if cbtable tells us that this is the wrong image for this board. This patch cleans up --force usage: - Remove any suggestions to use --force for probe/read from flashrom output. - Don't talk about "success" or "Found chip" if the chip is forced. - Add a new internal programmer parameter boardmismatch=force. This overrides any mismatch detection from cbtable/image comparisons. - Add a new internal programmer parameter laptop=force_I_want_a_brick. - Adjust the documentation for --force. - Clean up the man page a bit whereever it talks about --force or laptops. Additional changes in this patch: - Add warnings about laptops to the documentation. - Abort if a laptop is detected. Can be overridden with the programmer parameter mentioned above. - Add "Portable" to the list of DMI strings indicating laptops. - Check if a chip specified with -c is known to flashrom. - Programmer parameter reliability and consistency fixes. - More paranoid self-checks. - Improve documentation.

* Refactor man pagemkarcher2010-03-071-37/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch puts the description of the different programmers into a separate section of the manpage instead of having them one after the other without visual structuring in the description of "-p". It is made as a preparation of a man-page patch that adds the background of board enables into flashrom.8 that would really blow up the OPTIONS section. The only differences in content are: - The parameter for serprog is mandatory, not optional - Default behaviour of it87spi (using BIOS-set I/O address) is mentioned. - Default speed of buspiratespi is mentioned.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new option is '-p gfxnvidia', rest of the interface is as usual. I tested a successful identify and read on a "RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro" card for now, erase and write did NOT work properly so far! Please do not attempt to write/erase cards yet, unless you can recover! In addition to the NVIDIA handling code it was required to call programmer_shutdown() in a lot more places, otherwise the graphics card will be disabled in the init function, but never enabled again as the shutdown function is not called. The shutdown handling may be changed to use atexit() later.

* Add support for 3COM NICs as "external programmer" and Atmel AT49BV512.uwe2009-05-131-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows flashrom to identify, read, write, erase and verify flash chips on (some) 3COM network cards. The patch uses the external programmer infrastructure, the network card is basically treated as an external flash programmer. Usage: $ ./flashrom -p nic3com flashrom v0.9.0-r498 Found NIC "3COM 3C905C: EtherLink 10/100 PCI (TX)" (10b7:9200), addr = 0xa400 Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chip "Atmel AT49BV512" (64 KB) at physical address 0xffff0000. No operations were specified. $ ./flashrom -p nic3com -E flashrom v0.9.0-r498 Found NIC "3COM 3C905C: EtherLink 10/100 PCI (TX)" (10b7:9200), addr = 0xa400 Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chip "Atmel AT49BV512" (64 KB) at physical address 0xffff0000. Erasing flash chip... SUCCESS. $ ./flashrom -p nic3com -wv backup.bin flashrom v0.9.0-r498 Found NIC "3COM 3C905C: EtherLink 10/100 PCI (TX)" (10b7:9200), addr = 0xa400 Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chip "Atmel AT49BV512" (64 KB) at physical address 0xffff0000. Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks. Programming page: 1023 at address: 0x0000ffc0 Verifying flash... VERIFIED. $ ./flashrom -p nic3com -r backup.bin flashrom v0.9.0-r498 Found NIC "3COM 3C905C: EtherLink 10/100 PCI (TX)" (10b7:9200), addr = 0xa400 Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chip "Atmel AT49BV512" (64 KB) at physical address 0xffff0000. Reading flash... done. I have tested this on actual hardware (see PCI IDs above) and all operations worked fine. Support for other 3COM cards will follow (I added some more which should be supportable by this code, but they're untested so far), as well as support for NICs from other vendors. The patch also adds support for the Atmel AT49BV512 which is soldered onto the 3COM NIC I used for testing.
