Based on the work of Matthias 'mazzoo' Wenzel this patch adds pretty
printing of those ICH/PCH flash descriptor sections that are
cached/mapped by the chipset (and which are therefore reachable via
FDOC/FDOD registers).
this includes the following:
- content section:
describes the image and some generic properties (number of
sections, offset of sections, PCH/ICH and MCH/PROC strap
offsets and lengths)
- component section:
identify the different SPI flash chips and their capabilities.
- region section
similarly to a partition table this describes the different regions.
the content of FLREG* is derived from this section.
- master section
defines SPI master (host, ME, GbE) access rights of the
individual regions. the content of PR* is derived from this section.
this is only a part of the data included in the descriptor. other
information can be retrieved from a complete binary dump of the
descriptor region only.
this patch also adds macros and pretty printing for "Vendor Specific
Component Capabilities" registers: there are two of them: lower and
upper. they describe the properties of the address space divided by
FPBA (which allows to use multiple flash chips or partitions with
different properties). the properties of all supported flash chips
(together with their RDIDs) are stored in the same format in table
in a descriptor section (which is used by the ME apparently). a
later patch will use the macros outside of ichspi.c which is the
reason why the prettyprinting function and the register bit macros
are not defined in ichspi.c but ich_descriptors.h (else they would
be moved in the follow-up patch).
because this patch relies on (compiler) implementation-specific
layouting of bit-fields, it checks for correct layout before taking
any action on runtime.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 DIP32, PLCC32, DIP8, SO8/SOIC8, TSOP32, and TSOP40 chips, which use various protocols such as LPC, FWH, parallel flash, or SPI. Do not use flashrom on laptops! The embedded controller (EC) present in many laptops interacts badly with any flash attempts and can brick your laptop permanently. Please make a backup of your flash chip before writing to it. Please see the flashrom(8) manpage. Packaging --------- To package flashrom and remove dependencies on subversion, either use make export or make tarball make export will export all flashrom files from the subversion repository at revision BASE into a directory named $EXPORTDIR/flashrom-$VERSION-r$SVNREVISION and will additionally modify the Makefile in that directory to contain the svn revision of the exported tree. make tarball will simply tar up the result of make export and gzip compress it. The snapshot tarballs are the result of make tarball and require no further processing. Build Instructions ------------------ To build flashrom you need to install the following software: * pciutils+libpci (if you want support for mainboard or PCI device flashing) * libusb (if you want FT2232 or Dediprog support) * libftdi (if you want FT2232 support) Linux et al: * pciutils / libpci * pciutils-devel / pciutils-dev / libpci-dev * zlib-devel / zlib1g-dev (needed if libpci was compiled with libz support) On FreeBSD, you need the following ports: * devel/gmake * devel/libpci On OpenBSD, you need the following ports: * devel/gmake * sysutils/pciutils To compile on Linux, use: make To compile on FreeBSD, use: gmake To compile on Nexenta, use: make To compile on Solaris, use: gmake LDFLAGS="-L$pathtolibpci" CC="gcc -I$pathtopciheaders" CFLAGS=-O2 To compile on NetBSD or DragonFly BSD, use: ln -s /usr/pkg/include/pciutils pci gmake CPPFLAGS=-I. LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,-rpath-link,/usr/pkg/lib" To compile on OpenBSD, use: gmake To compile and run on Darwin/Mac OS X: Install DirectHW from coresystems GmbH. DirectHW is available at http://www.coresystems.de/en/directhw . To cross-compile on Linux for DOS: Get RPMs of the cross compiler from the DJGPP site and install them: djcross-binutils-2.19.1-10ap.i386.rpm djcross-gcc-4.3.2-8ap.i686.rpm djcrx-2.04pre_20090725-13ap.i386.rpm Download pciutils 3.1.5 and apply http://assembler.cz/flashrom/pciutils.patch Download and compile http://assembler.cz/flashrom/libgetopt/ Compile pciutils, see README.DJGPP for instructions. Enter the flashrom directory. ../libpci should contain pciutils source and binaries. ../libgetopt should contain getopt.a from libgetopt. Run either (change settings where appropriate) make CC=i586-pc-msdosdjgpp-gcc STRIP=i586-pc-msdosdjgpp-strip OS_ARCH=DOS or (above settings hardcoded) make djgpp-dos You might have to add WARNERROR=no to the make command line. To run flashrom.exe, download and unpack http://homer.rice.edu/~sandmann/cwsdpmi/csdpmi7b.zip and make sure CWSDPMI.EXE is in the current directory. Processor architecture dependent features: On non-x86 architectures you have to disable a few programmers because they use port-based I/O which is not directly available on non-x86. Please add CONFIG_RAYER_SPI=no CONFIG_NIC3COM=no CONFIG_ATAHPT=no CONFIG_NICREALTEK=no \ CONFIG_NICNATSEMI=no as parameters to the "make" invocation. Besides that, the internal programmer is only supported on x86 and MIPS. On other architectures, please add CONFIG_INTERNAL=no as parameter to the "make" invocation. Installation ------------ In order to install flashrom and the manpage into /usr/local, type: make install For installation in a different directory use DESTDIR, e.g. like this: make DESTDIR=/usr install If you have insufficient permissions for the destination directory, use sudo by adding sudo in front of the commands above.
