[flashrom] Questions regarding Easy project and GSoC

2022-03-08 Thread Aarya Chaumal 
Hello there,

I hope you are well today when you receive this email. I am Aarya Chaumal,
a Computer Engineering student at the College of Engineering Pune, India.
While going through organizations for this year's Google's Summer of Code I
came across your organization, Flashrom.

I am a  part of onboard computers subsystem at my college's satellite
initiative. Through this, I have closely worked on Atmel SAM E70 XPLAINED
board. Also, I have strong knowledge about C/C++ and assembly language.
>From your list of GSoC project ideas, I liked the idea of “Remove global
state from flashrom” and "Optimize Erase-Function Selection", although I am
not quite sure which one is more suitable for me. Can you guide me through
this?

As mentioned in your Contributor commitments and requirements, I started to
do one of the easy projects - Add new flash chip definitions. For this, I
read the relevant datasheets, one from the unlisted chips and another of a
listed one (for reference) but still, I am not getting the information
about some fields for the structure in the datasheet, namely the
feature_bits, probe_timing. Also, do I have to write the probe, read, write
and erase functions for the chip separately? Also, how do I test if my code
is working as I don't have relevant hardware with me? Can you help me with
this? Also what resources should I use to learn more about it?

Thank you for looking into this for me.
Sincerely,
Aarya Chaumal

2022-03-08 Thread Anastasia Klimchuk 
Hello Hui,

Nice to meet you! Great to know that you are interested to work with us
this Summer of Code!

It is very good that you looked into the list of project ideas and are
interested in one of them, and your experience in C is very relevant.

> What resources can I use to learn more about it?

First thing, please have a read of our Contributor Guidelines
https://www.flashrom.org/GSoC especially the “Contributor commitments &
requirements” section, and see if you can gradually start with p.1 “Prior
to project acceptance, you need to demonstrate that you can work with the
flashrom codebase”. It is important that you complete all steps from 1 to 5.
Definitely tell us how it goes! You can reply to this email, tell us what
steps you did successfully, or if not, what are the problems.

Also look into the “How to contact us” section, join our IRC channel and
say hello! :)

Just in case, if you haven’t read these already, here are official
guidelines for gsoc program:
https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/
Rules https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/rules (at least check p.7 from
here)

> What skills do I need to improve to get accepted from Flashrom?

For the project you are interested in, good knowledge of C language is a
critical skill.

Thank you!
Anastasia.

Thank you for your report. I'm going to mark the chip as tested, see
https://review.coreboot.org/62664 for the change.

[flashrom] [MT25QU256] Tested probe, read, write and erase through ft2232_spi programmer

2022-03-08 Thread Charles Parent 
Hello,

First thank you a lot for your amazing work on flashrom, I just discovered this 
software and it saved me a lot of time lately !

I use it to flash a MT25QU256 through a FTDI4233H, and as software is telling 
me that this chip is labelled as untested I would like to send you the logs 
showing that it works indeed.

Here are logs for both reading and writing / erasing.

I also did  varius tests, filling the EEPROM with arbitrary values and reading 
back to see everything was working.

Please do not hesitate if you need more details !

Best regards,


Charles Parent

[flashrom] Questions About Flashrom Of Gsoc

2022-03-08 Thread Hui Xiang 
Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope you are well today when you receive this email. My name is Hui Xiang, 
and I am a University of Manchester Electrical and Electronic Engineering 
student. This summer, I would like to join Google Summer of Code. The Flashrom 
Project caught my eyes after I went through all the projects of GSoC.
In my school project, I am now working on the NUCLEO-F401RE(STM32). I can 
programme in C and C++, as well as assembly language. From the file of GSoC 
project ideas, I really like the idea of "Design and implement new CLI based on 
libflashrom and enhance the API as needed". For the Flashrom project, I would 
like to make contributions on some API. What resources can I use to learn more 
about it? What skills do I need to improve to get accepted from Flashrom? Thank 
you for looking into this for me.
Best Regards,
Hui
