[StarBook MkV] can't upgrade to coreboot 8.02 #50

Closed twiztedtbone closed 2 years ago

twiztedtbone commented 2 years ago

Howdy!

Having a weird issue trying to update coreboot.

OS: Arch Current coreboot: 8.00

[xxxx@starpod ~]$ fwupdmgr update
Reading…                 [-                                      ]Devices with no available firmware updates: 
 • 0000:00:1f.5
 • Star Drive PCIe SSD
**StarBook (bios) is not currently updatable: failed to open device for prepare: invalid region name**

I've tried searching for the issue, but the phrase "invalid region name" doesn't actually return any search results that I can find, so I'm at a bit of a loss for next steps.

Lemme know if any additional info would help. T

Can you let me know:

twiztedtbone commented 2 years ago

Sure thing, here ya go:

kernel:

5.18.9

flashrom:

1.2

fwupd:

1.8.2

output:

[xxxx@starpod ~]$ sudo flashrom -p internal
flashrom v1.2 on Linux 5.18.9-arch1-1 (x86_64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org

Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).
Opened /dev/mtd0 successfully
Found Programmer flash chip "Opaque flash chip" (16384 kB, Programmer-specific) mapped at physical address 0x0000000000000000.
No operations were specified.
Sean-StarLabs commented 2 years ago

Can you run:

sudo fwupdtool get-devices --plugins flashrom --verbose | grep mtd

I would guess towards the end of that output, you'll have:

08:55:30:0532 FuPluginFlashrom Error accessing SPIBAR, 0x1000 bytes at 0x00000000fe010000
08:55:30:0532 FuPluginFlashrom /dev/mem mmap failed: Operation not permitted
08:55:30:0532 FuPluginFlashrom FAILED!
08:55:30:0532 FuPluginFlashrom FATAL ERROR!

Which needs a newer version of fwupd to fix.

Incidentally, I'm using the Manjaro/Starlabs version of fwupd per the Starlabs support page, as I assumed it contained device-specific patches necessary for proper function vs. the version in the official Arch repos. I would be doing the same for flashrom, however the package doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Could the issue be due to the incongrunt versions of fwupd and flashrom (i.e. not both being either vanilla or Starlabs-specific)?

Sean-StarLabs commented 2 years ago

No, that's happy.

Did you refresh? i.e. fwupdmgr refresh --force

twiztedtbone commented 2 years ago

I did before opening the issue, yea. Here's what that looks like in full:

Okay, so that's being returned from flashrom - I guess the version of the flashrom might be really old and have a different API (version number is flashrom are weird and quite useless).

Manjaro package here - might be worth trying that or building flashrom from source?

twiztedtbone commented 2 years ago

Manjaro package here - might be worth trying that [...]

Addressing this first for visibility (good news later); this was the version I pointed to in an earlier reply as not existing. The page you linked to exists, but if you follow those links to get to the source on Gitlab, you're greeted with an empty page (meaning I couldn't acquire a PKGBUILD). The only package in Marjaro with starlabs in the name appears to be fwupd-starlabs (which I currently have installed); flashrom doesn't seem to exist in any form, unless I'm severely misunderstanding how the Manjaro repos work.

Out of curiosity, could I just be using the latest Git masters for flashrom/fwupd and be good to go? Or does fwupd-starlabs (and flashrom, for that matter) have system-specific patches? Probably a dumb question, but I don't understand this firmware-level stuff very well.

And there we go! Building the latest flashrom from Git (the last official release being from over two years ago) did the trick. It's not too often you have to worry about this sort of thing on a rolling distro, but there it is.

Thanks Sean!

Sean-StarLabs commented 2 years ago

Awesome :)

Git masters would do the job - we don't do forks, flashrom-starlabs is just newer.
