Nico,

in your initial issue list you posted months before on the mailing list, you wrote ...

703de983 Added spireadmode param to sb600spi. (How) does it work?

AFAICS, the parameter is documented in the man page with values. Could you make the question more clear?

What does it do at the hardware level? What value should one set?

Does it only affect memory-mapped reads or also command-mode reads? If the former, why was it written before we had memory-mapped reads? If the latter, is it safe to use? Flashrom only supports a single SPI read command per chip, it wouldn't know if any special fast-read or dual/quad-io read is to be sent.

  • Parent task deleted (#353)

Since the support for Promontory has been dropped from the release, unlinking the ticket from release as well.

However, the ticket stays and need some more investigation.
