done.Īfter backing up the old BIOS we can safely write the new BIOS back to the chip. $ flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0,spispeed=512 -r įlashrom p1.0-76-g291764a on Linux 4.14.34-v7+ (armv7l) flashrom is free software, get the source code at Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns). Found Winbond flash chip "W25X80" (1024 kB, SPI) on linux_spi. Reading flash. Now that Flashrom correctly identifies the Winbond W25X80 we can continue to backup the current BIOS. $ flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0,spispeed=512įlashrom p1.0-76-g291764a on Linux 4.14.34-v7+ (armv7l) flashrom is free software, get the source code at Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns). Found Winbond flash chip "W25X80" (1024 kB, SPI) on linux_spi. No operations were specified. In order to verify flashrom correctly identifies the chip we run flashrom without any operations. The table below show the connections between the RaspberryPi and the chip.
#UNLOCK BIOS WITH SPI PROGRAMMER INSTALL#
Sudo make install Connecting the Raspberry to the SPI flash chip To install from source first install the dependencies: sudo apt install git libpci-dev libusb-1.0 libusb-devįinish up by cloning the flashrom repo, compiling and installing flashrom: git clone Installing flashrom can be done via a simple apt-get or from source. In raspi-config select option 5: Interfacing options Under interfaces options select P4 SPI Installing flashrom After which the SPI interface will become available under:

The SPI interface are enabled by typing sudo raspi-config and selecting P4 SPI under the Interfacing options. Using flashrom to interact with the chipĪs others have pointed out, the latest version of Raspbian (Stretch) will also work by adding the spispeed param to the Flashrom command.Connecting the Raspberry Pi to the chip.Installing flashrom (either from source or via apt get).For this project I used a Winbond 25X80 salvaged from a motherboard I had lying around. I was eager to try this out for myself so I got out my Pi 3 model B and got to work. Apparently the Raspberry Pi is very suitable for this kind of thing as it has a SPI interface and is able to run linux. While doing some research online I found several articles/posts from people using a Raspberry Pi to flash SPI flash chips.
