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. Corresponding to flashrom svn r737. Signed-off-by: Uwe Hermann <uwe@hermann-uwe.de> Acked-by: Luc Verhaegen <libv@skynet.be>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 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$SVNREVISION and will additionally modify the Makefile in that directory to contain the svn revision of the exported tree. make tarball will simply tar up the result of make export and gzip compress it. The snapshot tarballs are the result of make tarball and require no further processing. Build Instructions ------------------ To build flashrom you need to install the following packages or ports: Linux et al: * pciutils * pciutils-devel / pciutils-dev / libpci-dev * zlib-devel / zlib1g-dev (only needed if libpci is static) On FreeBSD, you need the following ports: * devel/gmake * devel/libpci To compile on Linux, use: make To compile on FreeBSD, use: gmake To compile on Nexenta, use: make To compile on Solaris, use: gmake LDFLAGS="-L$pathtolibpci" CC="gcc -I$pathtopciheaders" CFLAGS=-O2 To compile on DragonFly BSD, use: ln -s /usr/pkg/include/pciutils pci gmake CFLAGS=-I. LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib" To compile and run on Darwin/Mac OS X: Install DirectIO from coresystems GmbH. DirectIO is available at http://www.coresystems.de/en/directio. Installation ------------ In order to install flashrom and the manpage into /usr/local, type: sudo make install For installation in a different directory use DESTDIR, e.g. like this: sudo make DESTDIR=/usr install Usage / Options --------------- Please see the flashrom(8) manpage. Exit status ----------- Please see the flashrom(8) manpage. coreboot Table and Mainboard Identification -------------------------------------------- Please see the flashrom(8) manpage. ROM Layout Support ------------------ Please see the flashrom(8) manpage. Supported Flash Chips / Chipsets / Mainboards --------------------------------------------- Please check the output of 'flashrom -L' for the list of supported flash chips, chipsets/southbridges, mainboards, and flash programmers.
