Probing v2 can (if requested) go through all flashchips and find all the matching chip definitions. This is the way cli behaves, so cli becomes a client of probing v2. Previously cli and libflashrom had different probing logic, and different code in different source files. This patch also adds tests for probing v2. Testing from the cli: ./flashrom -p dummy:emulate=W25Q128FV -r dump.rom ./flashrom -p dummy:emulate=MX25L6436 -r dump.rom ./flashrom -p dummy:emulate=MX25L6436 -c "MX25L6473E" -r dump.rom ./flashrom -p dummy:emulate=SST25VF032B -E ./flashrom -p dummy:emulate=S25FL128L -r dump.rom ./flashrom -p dummy:emulate=INVALID -r dump.rom ./flashrom -p dummy:emulate=MX25L6436 -c "NONEXISTENT" -r dump.rom Change-Id: Idfcf377a8071e22028ba98515f08495ed2a6e9f0 Signed-off-by: Anastasia Klimchuk <aklm@flashrom.org> Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/c/flashrom/+/87341 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org> Reviewed-by: Peter Marheine <pmarheine@chromium.org>
flashrom README
===============
flashrom is a utility for detecting, reading, writing, verifying and erasing
flash chips. It is often used to flash BIOS/EFI/coreboot/firmware images
in-system using a supported mainboard, but it also supports flashing of network
cards (NICs), SATA controller cards, and other external devices which can
program flash chips.
It supports a wide range of flash chips (most commonly found in SOIC8, DIP8,
SOIC16, WSON8, PLCC32, DIP32, TSOP32, and TSOP40 packages), which use various
protocols such as LPC, FWH, parallel flash, or SPI.
Do not use flashrom on laptops (yet)! The embedded controller (EC) present in
many laptops might interact badly with any attempts to communicate with the
flash chip and may brick your laptop.
Please make a backup of your flash chip before writing to it.
Please see the flashrom(8) manpage :doc:`classic_cli_manpage`.
The list of platforms that package flashrom can be found on `repology.org <https://repology.org/project/flashrom/versions>`_.
Information about recent releases can be found in :doc:`/release_notes/index`.
Building / installing / packaging
---------------------------------
flashrom is built with **meson**. TLDR:
::
meson setup builddir
meson compile -C builddir
meson test -C builddir
meson install -C builddir
For full detailed instructions, follow the information in
:doc:`dev_guide/building_from_source`.
If you are interested in development, have a look at :doc:`dev_guide/development_guide`.
