A more compact protocol specification attached - i'll try and clean
the flashrom driver code a bit and send a patch next - but for now a
small log clip (with jedec.c doing erase checking etc (eg. as is in
svn now) - on a real serial port at 115200):
(and yeah i did a ncftp "mget *" on the flashrom directory to move the
stuff over to the another computer - so it didnt copy the svn data -
so no revision on that)

root /home/urjaman/flashrom #  time ./flashrom  -p
serprog=/dev/ttyS0:115200 -w randomdata.bin
flashrom v0.9.0-r
serprog: Programmer name "ATMega168 SFR"
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found chip "Winbond W29C020C" (256 KB) at physical address 0xfffc0000.
Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks.

Serial Flasher Protocol Specification - a small redesign for performance

Command And Answer Sequence - not all commands give an answer
PC: COMMAND(8bit) <parameters determined by opcode>
DEV: ACK/NAK(8bit) <OPTIONAL RETURN BYTES (only if ACK)> or nothing

ACK = 0x10
NAK = 0xBA

All multibyte values are little-endian.

COMMAND Description                     Parameters                      Return 
Value
0x00    NOP (to synchronize)            none                            NAK + 
ACK (a special sequence for easier sync)
0x01    Query programmer iface version  none                            ACK + 
16bit version (nonzero)
0x02    Query supported commands bitmap none                            ACK + 
32 bytes (256 bits) of supported cmds flags
                                                                        eg. cmd 
0 support: byte 0 bit 0
                                                                        cmd 1 
support: byte 0 bit 1
                                                                        cmd 7 
support: byte 0 bit 7
                                                                        cmd 8 
support: byte 1 bit 0
0x03    Query programmer name           none                            ACK + 
16 bytes string (null padding) / NAK
0x04    Query serial buffer size        none                            ACK + 
16bit size / NAK
0x05    Query supported bustypes        none                            ACK + 
8-bit flags (as per flashrom) / NAK
                                                                        bit 0: 
PARALLEL
                                                                        bit 1: 
LPC
                                                                        bit 2: 
FWH
                                                                        bit 3: 
SPI if ever supported
0x06    Query supported chip size       none                            ACK + 
8bit power of two / NAK
0x07    Query operation buffer size     none                            ACK + 
16bit size / NAK
0x08    Query write-n maximum data len  none                            ACK + 
24bit maximum length / NAK
0x00    Read byte                       24-bit addr                     ACK + 
BYTE / NAK
0x0A    Read n bytes                    24-bit addr + 24-bit length     ACK + 
length bytes / NAK
0x0B    Initialize operation buffer     none                            ACK / 
NAK
0x0C    Write to opbuf: Write byte      24-bit addr + 8-bit byte        ACK / 
NAK (NOTE: takes 6 bytes in opbuf)
0x0D    Write to opbuf: Write n         24-bit length + 24-bit addr +   ACK / 
NAK (NOTE: takes 7+n bytes in opbuf)
                                         + length bytes of data
0x0E    Write to opbuf: delay           32-bit usecs                    ACK / 
NAK (NOTE: takes 5 bytes in opbuf)
0x0F    Execute operation buffer        none                            ACK / 
NAK
                - Execute operation buffer will also clear it, regardless of 
the return value
0x??    unimplemented command           any                             NAK
