* Kill obsolete exclude range featureCarl-Daniel Hailfinger2009-06-191-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | It is ignored by almost every chip and does not work for external flashers. Plus, it gives the user a false sense of security in some corner cases.

* Allow to print an auto-generated hardware support list in MediaWiki markupUwe Hermann2009-06-191-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a --list-supported-wiki / -z option which outputs the currently supported flash chips (and their status, size, and type), chipsets (plus status), mainboards (plus status), and external PCI devices usable as programmer to stdout. This allows for very easy pasting into the http://coreboot.org/flashrom page, so we can keep that page up-to-date without much hassle. The list of boards is mostly new (known good ones which don't need write-enable code, and known-bad ones) and also lists URLs to the vendor's mainboard pages. Corresponding to flashrom svn r607.

* This patch adds support for a new SPI programmer, based on the FT2232H/4232H ↵Paul Fox2009-06-161-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | chip from FTDI FTDI support is autodetected during compilation. Paul writes: There are certainly possible improvements: The code has hard-coded values for which interface of the ftdi chip to use (interface B was chosen because libftdi seems to have trouble with A right now), what clock rate use for the SPI interface (I've been running at 30Mhz, but the patch sets it to 10Mhz), and possibly others. I think this means that per-programmer options might be a good idea at some point. Carl-Daniel writes: There is one additional FIXME comment in the code, but AFAICS that problem is not solvable with current libftdi. Corresponding to flashrom svn r598.

* Flashrom does not honor argument ordering for operationsCarl-Daniel Hailfinger2009-06-121-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Not only does this violate the principle of least surprise, it also caused one bug where -Ewv was specified and the flash ended up being empty. Support only one operation at a time. As a side benefit, this allows us to clean up main() quite a bit. Corresponding to flashrom svn r585.

* Make the nic3com code check how many supported NICs are foundUwe Hermann2009-05-141-11/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we find multiple ones, abort with a message to the user, suggesting to use the flashrom -p nic3com=bb:dd.f syntax. If exactly one supported NIC is found, use it. If none is found, abort with an error. Print the bb:dd.f numbers for all supported NICs we find, so the user doesn't have to poke around in lspci output to find the desired bb:dd.f. Also, drop one pci_read_long() in favor of using the already existing base_addr[0] struct field. Drop the BAR in user messages, it's not really useful for us. Instead, explain the BDF syntax a bit more verbosely. While I'm at it, update the manpage some more to mention and fully document the external programmer support we have (or will have soon). The patch is tested on hardware: $ flashrom -p nic3com flashrom v0.9.0-r512 Found NIC "3COM 3C905C: EtherLink 10/100 PCI (TX)" (10b7:9200, BDF 05:04.0) Found NIC "3COM 3C905C: EtherLink 10/100 PCI (TX)" (10b7:9200, BDF 05:03.0) Error: Multiple supported NICs found. Please use 'flashrom -p nic3com=bb:dd.f' to explicitly select the card with the given BDF (PCI bus, device, function). $ flashrom -p nic3com=05:04.0 flashrom v0.9.0-r512 Found NIC "3COM 3C905C: EtherLink 10/100 PCI (TX)" (10b7:9200, BDF 05:04.0) Calibrating delay loop...

* Add support for 3COM NICs as "external programmer" and Atmel AT49BV512Uwe Hermann2009-05-131-1/+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. 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. Corresponding to flashrom svn r499.
