Support for an external serial flasher protocol. Supports RS-232, USB serial converters (untested) and TCP streams.
Signed-off-by: Urja Rannikko <[email protected]> --- Please commit my jedec.c readb to readn patch (or carldani's version that i've only heard of in IRC) before this - they're not dependent but without that patch this protocol is awfully slow. Also attached is a simple specification of the protocol this code implements, it hasnt changed much from my last mail, but i attach it here so it's readily available in the same mail with the implementation. I also have the implementation of this protocol on the device side for an Atmel AVR ATmega168 microcontroller, it is also included just for an idea of how i implemented the device side parser - it has GPL headers added to all files and COPYING included to make it GPLv2+ for real, but has not otherwise been looked at for release - the device it runs on is in a way very special, so i think compiling that directly would be of little use to anyone atm. -- urjaman
Serial Flasher Protocol Specification - version 1 (0x01 return value == 1)
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 - dont do, dangerous, check for support with 0x02
before using any opcode exept 0x00, 0x01 and 0x02.
if 0x01 doesn't return 1, dont do anything if
you dont support a newer protocol.
This define listing should help C coders - (it's here to be the single source
for copying - will be a .h someday i think)
