Currently - jedec.c does this atleast - if different write functions do different things, that should be fixed (make them all do the same) - again @work and dont have the time to check, but: write_jedec: * Erases * Verifies erase * Writes each page, verifying each page after writing ... then you do a -v after that and youll end up near-triple-verifying stuff -- ok it's nice to be sure, but that's not very speedy, but ok for on-motherboard flashing. I suggest that we have it like this: -e erases and verifies erase -w erases, writes (verifying each page...) and verifies write (as in with -wv now) -r reads -v verifies Then i suggest we have some flag to disable all verifies (including the one in jedec.c checking each page write) in case one is using a slow external programmer. -n maybe (as in --no-verify)? -- urjaman -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
