Original progress reporting implemented in CB:49643 and it has some
issues, for example:
size_t start_address = start;
size_t end_address = len - start;
End address is anything but length minus start address.
update_progress(flash,
FLASHROM_PROGRESS_READ,
/*current*/ start - start_address + to_read,
/*total*/ end_address);
Total should just be length if that's how current value is computed.
---
libflashrom needs to know total size ahead of time.
That's init_progress() and changed update_progress().
It also needs to store the last current value to be able to update it.
That's stage_progress in flashrom_flashctx.
Measuring accurately amount of data which will be read/erased/written
isn't easy because things can be skipped as optimizations. The next
patch in the chain aims to address this, there are TODO/FIXME
comments there.
---
CLI shares terminal with the rest of the code and has to maintain more
state to handle that reasonably well.
Similar to CB:64668, an effort is made to keep the progress on a
single line. Non-progress output is kept track of to know when
moving to a new line cannot be avoided.
---
A script to test the CLI:
\#!/bin/bash
t=${1:-rewW}
shift
if [[ $t =~ r ]]; then
echo ">>> READ"
./flashrom -p dummy:emulate=W25Q128FV,freq=64mhz -r dump.rom --progress "$@"
echo
fi
if [[ $t =~ e ]]; then
echo ">>> ERASE"
./flashrom -p dummy:emulate=W25Q128FV,freq=64mhz -E --progress "$@"
echo
fi
if [[ $t =~ w ]]; then
echo ">>> WRITE (without erase)"
dd if=/dev/zero of=zero.rom bs=1M count=16 2> /dev/null
./flashrom -p dummy:emulate=W25Q128FV,freq=64mhz -w zero.rom --progress "$@"
echo
fi
if [[ $t =~ W ]]; then
echo ">>> WRITE (with erase)"
dd if=/dev/zero of=zero.rom bs=1M count=16 2> /dev/null
dd if=/dev/random of=random.rom bs=1M count=16 2> /dev/null
./flashrom -p dummy:emulate=W25Q128FV,freq=64mhz,image=random.rom -w zero.rom --progress "$@"
echo
fi

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`.
Building / installing / packaging
---------------------------------
flashrom is built with **meson**. TLDR:
::
meson setup builddir
meson compile -C builddir
meson test -C builddir
meson install -C builddir
