.BR "mediatek_i2c_spi " programmer
.IP
This programmer supports SPI flash programming for chips attached to some
Mediatek display controllers, themselves accessed through I2C (tunneling
SPI flash commands through an I2C connection with the host).
.sp
The programmer is designed to support the TSUMOP82JUQ integrated display driver
and scaler as used in the Google Meet Series One Desk 27 (which runs a version
of ChromeOS and uses flashrom in its \fBtsum-scaler-updater\fP scripts that
ship with the OS). Other chips may use compatible protocols but have not been
tested with this programmer, and external chip IOs may need to be controlled
through other non-flashrom means to configure the chip in order for it to
operate as expected.
.sp
\fBdevpath\fP and \fBbus\fP options select the I2C bus to use, as described
previously. \fBallow_brick\fP defaults to no, and must explicitly be set to
"yes" in order for the programmer to operate. This is required because there is
no mechanism in the driver to positively identify that a given I2C bus is
actually connected to a supported device.
