- x86/x86_64 (little endian) - PowerPC (big endian) - MIPS (big+little endian) No changes to programmer specific code. This means any drivers with MMIO access will _not_ suddenly start working on big endian systems, but with this patch everything is in place to fix them. Compilation should work on all architectures listed above for all drivers except nic3com and nicrealtek which require PCI Port IO which is x86-only for now. To compile without nic3com and nicrealtek, run make distclean make CONFIG_NIC3COM=no CONFIG_NICREALTEK=no Thanks to Misha Manulis for testing early versions of this patch on PowerPC (big endian) with the satasii programmer. Thanks to Segher Boessenkool for design review and for helping out with compiler tricks and pointing out that we need eieio on PowerPC. Thanks to Vladimir Serbinenko for compile testing on MIPS (little endian) and PowerPC (big endian) and for runtime testing on MIPS (little endian). Thanks to David Daney for compile testing on MIPS (big endian). Thanks to Uwe Hermann for compile and runtime testing on x86_64. DO NOT RUN flashrom ON NON-X86 AFTER APPLYING THIS PATCH! This patch only provides the infrastructure, but does not convert any drivers, so flashrom will compile, but it won't do the right thing on non-x86 platforms. Corresponding to flashrom svn r1013.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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$SVNREVISION and will additionally modify the Makefile in that directory to contain the svn revision of the exported tree. make tarball will simply tar up the result of make export and gzip compress it. The snapshot tarballs are the result of make tarball and require no further processing. Build Instructions ------------------ To build flashrom you need to install the following packages or ports: Linux et al: * pciutils / libpci * pciutils-devel / pciutils-dev / libpci-dev * zlib-devel / zlib1g-dev (needed if libpci was compiled with libz support) On FreeBSD, you need the following ports: * devel/gmake * devel/libpci To compile on Linux, use: make To compile on FreeBSD, use: gmake To compile on Nexenta, use: make To compile on Solaris, use: gmake LDFLAGS="-L$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 and run on Darwin/Mac OS X: Install DirectIO from coresystems GmbH. DirectIO is available at http://www.coresystems.de/en/directio. 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-tools-4.4.1-1ap.i686.rpm djcross-gcc-4.3.2-8ap.i686.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 http://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/csdpmi7b.zip and make sure CWSDPMI.EXE is in the current directory. 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.
