Il y a des flasheurs android dans l'assemblée ?
j'ai un Samsung A10 à reconditionner, il y a quoi comme ROM avec le moins de surcouche et surtout sans les outils gogole imposés (je ferai mon marché avec les gapps) ?

What is this #Flashprog project? I only know #flashrom.

Did Flashprog fork flashrom?

@aaron shure, 112,5k is also fast enough for a lot of low-level transfers, since 35h speeds are 135kBit/s aka. 1x ...

And yes, I want to shove firmware over serial and in most cases, I use #flashrom with way less than 9600...

has anyone here a tipp for a android-software, to read/flash #spi #rom with a #ch431 stick? i looked into #flashrom - but it does not seem to support ARM/android.

RTs appreciated! :snowmow:

Finally!

Daring again to flash #heads #coreboot from #nitrokey onto my good old #thinkpad t430.

The documentation is pretty horrible, as a beginner it was really hard to find info on how the hell to assemble a #CH341a programmer?

Got it working, see on the picture.

Then running #flashrom (as root, couldnt find the udev rules to allow it rootless) to detect the chips, backup and verify the stock ROM, and write heads onto them!

De-soldering the chip was the solution, also now I need to go find some good RE tools for freeRTOS :D

or are there better alternatives nowadays ?

Much learning happened last night concerning corrupted BIOSes and recovering them. A programmer was ordered. It was delivered this morning.

The biggest hurdle so far was that all the info I found assumed Windows, and I didn't have anything convenient to the lab with Windows on it. But I eventually discovered #flashrom for Linux and it is happily talking to the #BIOS via my #CH431A programmer and a 1.8v adapter.

Now I'm trying to find something to install on it that actually works. I tried something for this model and revision of motherboard that *should* have been the next version after what was originally on it. No joy. So now it's currently writing the backup I saved before I started this whole mess. Why I didn't think of that first...

Next to it is a mini-PC with a stack of little electronic bits sticking out of a USB port. A ribbon cable runs from this to a spring clip attached to a chip on the motherboard.A close-up of the spring clip attached to the BIOS flash chip on the motherboard. There's a light coating of dust on many surfaces. Ignore that.A close-up of the USB programmer, the 1.8v adapter board, and the adapter to the ribbon cable. There's a small pad of sticky notes wedged under it so it doesn't put unnecessary strain on the USB connector.

Both #flashrom and #coreboot are listed on https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2022/organizations 🥳 Good job, GSoC project admins!

I should give #flashrom a bit attention here in the fediverse, because it helped me repairing two graphic cards, with a soic8/sop8-clip:

One was a crashing #fake #nvidia #gt730 (in real now a #gt520, i use in a Dell r210 II and only working there thanks to legacy gpu bios). The other card is a real gt730 where I tried to rip of the uefi-bios-part, to make it work in the dell server. Didn't work, but thanks to #flashrom 1.2 self compiled on #raspberrypi, it now is working in other computers again.

Also the command "truncate -s <target-flashchip-size> <copy-of-bios-image>" in bash is very helpful to pad an original bios-image to fit to same size as the bios-chip.

You have to activate SPI-mode on raspberry and connect jumpercables as shown in the second link.

Yay it works! \o/ I can use an mini with to access SPI flash chips. Woop woop! :)
✨👩🏻‍💻✨

I want to use it for debugging via EHCI though. *should* support that. So far I had no success, will try different configs.

Joined the fosstodon.org #mastodon instance today.

Quick #introduction: I'm a FOSS developer, mainly working on #sigrok (logic analyzer, oscilloscope, test&measurement software) these days.

Also a #debian developer when time permits. Previously involved in #coreboot, #flashrom, and random other projects.

I'm also making my own #creativecommons music (plus videos) as a hobby over at Youtube and ccmixter.org.

More details later, I guess.

Flashrom 1.0.

The Flashrom is associated with Coreboot project.

It is for reading/writing/erasing/verifying flash chips commonly for motherboard BIOS/UEFI/firmware chips and has reached its long-awaited v1.0 milestone.

Flash firmware images such as BIOS or coreboot, or backup an existing firmware.
