      Write granularity is chip specific · e8e369fc
      Carl-Daniel Hailfinger authored
      
      The following write granularities exist according to my datasheet
      survey: - 1 bit. Each bit can be cleared individually. - 1 byte. A byte
      can be written once. Further writes to an already written byte cause
      the contents to be either undefined or to stay unchanged. - 128 bytes.
      If less than 128 bytes are written, the rest will be erased. Each write
      to a 128-byte region will trigger an automatic erase before anything is
      written. Very uncommon behaviour. - 256 bytes. If less than 256 bytes
      are written, the contents of the unwritten bytes are undefined.
      
      Note that chips with default 256-byte writes, which keep the original
      contents for unwritten bytes, have a granularity of 1 byte.
      
      Handle 1-bit, 1-byte and 256-byte write granularity.

      Allow the registration of functions to be called at programmer shutdown · cc389fc6
      Carl-Daniel Hailfinger authored
      
      Some programmers want to run certain functions during programmer
      shutdown, but the function choice depends on the code path taken
      during programmer init. Rather than rebuilding the whole init logic in
      the shutdown function, it is now possible to register functions for
      execution on programmer shutdown. The behaviour is similar to atexit(),
      but the registered functions will be run on programmer shutdown instead
      of on exit and the functions will be called with a void * argument
      that is specified on registration. Registered functions must have
      the prototype void function(void *); and will be executed in reverse
      registration order directly before calling the programmer-specific
      shutdown() function. It is recommended to have shutdown() only disable
      programmer/hardware access and leave all code path sensitive shutdown to
      functions registered with register_shutdown().
      
      The most prominent use case is resetting the EC after flashing on
      laptops.
      
      Note: There are quite a few code paths in flashrom which proceed to
      terminate flashrom without any programmer shutdown. Those code paths
      will not get the benefit of register_shutdown() and they should be
      changed wherever possible.

      Matching board via DMI · 6701ee83
      Michael Karcher authored
      
      If a board is not uniquely identifiable by PCI device/subsystem IDs, a
      string can be specified to be looked for (case-sensitive, substring or
      anchored) for now in one of the following DMI items in addition to matching
      the PCI IDs:
       - System Manufacturer
       - System Product Name
       - System Version
       - Baseboard Manufacturer
       - Baseboard Product Name
       - Baseboard Version
      
      Strings are anchored re-like (^ at the beginning, $ at the end), but
      there are no plans to support full regular expressions and matched to any
      of the mentioned fields.
      
      The match is only made if DMI info is available and the string matches.
      If no DMI info is available and the PCI IDs match, a warning is printed
      as the board can not be autodetected.
      
      It's still open to discussion whether we add an DMI override switch to
      specify a string that will definitely match, and whether this switch is
      only used if no DMI is available or whether it overrides or augments DMI
      data.
      
      DMI data is currently read using dmidecode. This tool is available for
      all major platforms except MacOS X. I heard that there also is a MacOS X
      version of dmidecode, but didn't investigate that.

      Dediprog SF100 support · d38fac8c
      Carl-Daniel Hailfinger authored
      
      Reverse engineered from USB logs. I never touched that programmer nor
      did I ever see the associated software.
      Disabled by default until it is complete. The driver needs to be hooked
      up to the SPI core before it will do anything besides init and
      diagnostics.
      
      I successfully reverse engineered all commands, but some are still
      somewhat magic.
      Logs from "flashrom -p dediprog -V" are appreciated.
      
      Probe and read should work, erase/write is expected to explode.
      The programmer will set voltage to 0 on exit.
      
      Thanks a lot to Stefan Reinauer and Patrick Georgi for providing USB
      logs and for testing the result.

      Internal (onboard) programming was the only feature which could not be disabled · 66ef4e5f
      Carl-Daniel Hailfinger authored
      
      Make various pieces of code conditional on support for internal
      programming. Code shared between PCI device programmers and onboard
      programming is now conditional as well.
      
      It is now possible to build only with dummy support:
      make CONFIG_INTERNAL=no CONFIG_NIC3COM=no CONFIG_SATASII=no
      CONFIG_DRKAISER=no CONFIG_SERPROG=no CONFIG_FT2232SPI=no
      
      This allows building for a specific use case only, and it also
      facilitates porting to a new architecture because it is possible to
      focus on highlevel code only.
      
      Note: Either internal or dummy programmer needs to be compiled in due to
      the current behaviour of always picking a default programmer if -p is
      not specified. Picking an arbitrary external programmer as default  
      wouldn't make sense.
      
      Build and runtime tested in all 1024 possible build combinations. The
      only failures are by design as mentioned above.

      Use common jedec functionality where appropriate · 1c296ca8
      Michael Karcher authored
      
      The deleted function in en29f002a.c is reintroduced as
      write_by_byte_jedec in jedec.c as it contains no chip-specific
      instructions. It is not yet used in other chip drivers, as key addresses
      (0x2AAA/0x5555) are often specified with less bits. After crosschecking
      datasheets, most of the fixmes can probably be resolved as indicated in
      them, causing significant code reduction.
      
      The common JEDEC code for bytewise programming does not program 0xFF
      at all. The chips that had a dedicated bytewise flash function which
      has been changed to write_jedec_1 thus changed flashing behaviour
      and the "write" test flag has been removed. This applies to: AMD
      Am29F002BB/Am29F002NBB AMD Am29F002BT/Am29F002NBT (TEST_OK_PREW before)
      AMIC A29002B AMIC A29002T (TEST_OK_PREW before) EON EN29F002(A)(N)B EON
      EN29F002(A)(N)T (TEST_OK_PREW before) Macronix MX29F001B (TEST_OK_PREW
      before) Macronix MX29F001T (TEST_OK_PREW before) Macronix MX29F002B
      Macronix MX29F002T (TEST_OK_PREW before) Macronix MX29LV040
      
      Similar analysis should be performed for the read id stuff.

      Refine support for the JEDEC Software Data Protection · 972cec28
      Michael Karcher authored
      
      This patch removes the extremely dangerous unprotect_jedec function
      which is not used at all within flashrom code, and renames the
      misleadingly named protect_jedec function to start_program_jedec.
      
      Calls to protect_jedec after flashing are removed, because a) on LPC
      chips, the command sent by protoct_jedec is not even in the datasheet
      and b) on parallel chips, the block write command issued before already
      contained the software protection sequence, so software protection is
      definitely enabled.
      
      This patch also removes two clones of protect_jedec
      
      Background: JEDEC Software Data Protection started as an optional
      feature, which was disabled on the first single-voltage-flash chips.
      The software data protection is the need to prefix a write with a magic
      "write enable" command, while without write protection every write
      access into the chip's address space modifies flash content. This magic
      write enable command also tells the flash chip that the programmer
      obviously support sending write-enable commands and turns off the "any
      write modifies flash content" mode. There also exist a two-command (6
      writes) sequence that disables Software Data Protection completey, which
      should only ever be used to prepare updating with a device that can't
      handle software data protection.

      Add infrastructure to check the maximum supported flash size of chipsets and mainboards · 115d390f
      Carl-Daniel Hailfinger authored
      
      The rationale is to warn users when they, for example, try to flash
      a 512KB parallel flash chip but their chipset only supports 256KB,
      or they try to flash 512KB and the chipset _does_ theoretically
      support 512KB but their special board doesn't wire all address lines
      and thus supports only 256 KB ROM chips at maximum.
      
      This has cost Uwe hours of debugging on some board already, until he
      figured out what was going on. We should try warn our users where
      possible about this.
      
      The chipset and the chip may have more than one bus in common (e.g.
      SB600 and Pm49* can both speak LPC+FWH) and on SB600/SB7x0/SB8x0 there
      are different limits for LPC and FWH. The only way to tell the user
      about the exact circumstances is to spew error messages per bus.
      
      The code will issue a warning during probe (which does fail for some
      chips if the size is too big) and abort before the first real
      read/write/erase action. If no action is specified, the warning is
      printed anyway.
      That way, a user can find out why probe might not have worked, and will
      be stopped before he/she gets incorrect results.
      
      Add a bitcount function to the infrastructure.
