i’m (somewhat sadly) no longer presently working on my coreboot port (although observing coding is getting easier and easier in some places) but yesterday i finally got spi flashing going which is great. i was discouraged months ago when i failed to acquire and troubleshoot working flash chips this morning i’ve flashed a chip last night and am looking forward to trying to POST the old board for the first time, which will mean wiring it up with my dc power supply https://matrix.to/#/!orFwLtOAmHWlvoSoQn%3Athe-apothecary.club/%24dKehdGijzBu... i’ve been trying for a year or two to get a server board running coreboot as my first foray into coreboot [photo of half-disassembled flashing parts on a breadboard] this is the last flasher i was using. i stalled when it turned out i was using toasted spi chips (spi not pictured, socket is lpc), lots of troubleshooting, contacted the manufacturer etc [photo of arduino next to prototype shield with small wiring of components on one end] this is my finally today working arduino spi flasher. after the last frustration with unsteady hands i bought a general purpose arduino shield to wire it on. it’s finally flashing the pictured flash adapter reliably, big celebration the lpc isn’t wired yet obv i make so many mistakes i actually patched the flasher firmware to add commands to perform voltage tests for each wire, to verify it is correctly wired, which really helps me troubleshoot. my patch is at https://github.com/urjaman/frser-m328lpcspi/pull/2 […] dissociative disorder and fervent self sabotage
