* So far, we have up to 4 different names for the same thing (ignoring ↵Carl-Daniel Hailfinger2010-05-311-6/+6

Use lowercase names with underscores for programmer names and programmer files. With this, you can run "grep -i ft2232_spi" and find everything related to the ft2232_spi driver.

* One of the problems is that --force had multiple meaningsCarl-Daniel Hailfinger2010-04-281-8/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Force chip read by faking probe success. - Force chip access even if the chip is bigger than max decode size for the flash bus. - Force erase even if erase is known bad. - Force write even if write is known bad. - Force writing even if cbtable tells us that this is the wrong image for this board. This patch cleans up --force usage: - Remove any suggestions to use --force for probe/read from flashrom output. - Don't talk about "success" or "Found chip" if the chip is forced. - Add a new internal programmer parameter boardmismatch=force. This overrides any mismatch detection from cbtable/image comparisons. - Add a new internal programmer parameter laptop=force_I_want_a_brick. - Adjust the documentation for --force. - Clean up the man page a bit whereever it talks about --force or laptops. Additional changes in this patch: - Add warnings about laptops to the documentation. - Abort if a laptop is detected. Can be overridden with the programmer parameter mentioned above. - Add "Portable" to the list of DMI strings indicating laptops. - Check if a chip specified with -c is known to flashrom. - Programmer parameter reliability and consistency fixes. - More paranoid self-checks. - Improve documentation.

* Refactor man pageMichael Karcher2010-03-071-37/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch puts the description of the different programmers into a separate section of the manpage instead of having them one after the other without visual structuring in the description of "-p". It is made as a preparation of a man-page patch that adds the background of board enables into flashrom.8 that would really blow up the OPTIONS section. The only differences in content are: - The parameter for serprog is mandatory, not optional - Default behaviour of it87spi (using BIOS-set I/O address) is mentioned. - Default speed of buspiratespi is mentioned.

* Add initial support for flashing some NVIDIA graphics cardsUwe Hermann2009-09-301-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new option is '-p gfxnvidia', rest of the interface is as usual. I tested a successful identify and read on a "RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro" card for now, erase and write did NOT work properly so far! Please do not attempt to write/erase cards yet, unless you can recover! In addition to the NVIDIA handling code it was required to call programmer_shutdown() in a lot more places, otherwise the graphics card will be disabled in the init function, but never enabled again as the shutdown function is not called.

I think this means that per-programmer options might be a good idea at some point.
