Find an lmilk/wmilk tarball and translate the C++ code. Or maybe make a plugin system for flashrom using some kind of IPC. Pipes, shared memory, etc. They drove the milksop and cheaplpc. The cheaplpc code I hinted at also does exactly this already. > What's the license of that software? lmilk/wmilk is GPL. cheaplpc.com software I don't know, I didn't download it. > My suggestion for these external flashers would be to specify the > name of the host/programmer like "--host=lpcflasher" and possibly > "--interface=/dev/lp0". I'd like to counter with --master or --plugin. --host could imply networking and the term on LPC as well as SPI for something doing what the external hardware is doing here is a bus master. Parallell port abstraction is needed somewhere because every system does this differently. lmilk/wmilk already has that. I don't expect /dev/lp0 to be usable, if that exists then the kernel printer driver has already claimed the port. But maybe /dev/parport0 can work, or you do what lmilk does and simply program the port with OUTB/INB. //Peter -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
