How to read/write SPI flash descriptor
by Li Qiang
Hello all,
I used chipsec to evaluate my hardware.
And I got following report:
[-] Software has write access to SPI flash descriptor
[-] FAILED: SPI flash permissions allow SW to write flash descriptor
I look at the chipsec source code and find that this is read from frap
register(SPIBAR + 50h).
However I can't find the spec how to read the SPI flash descriptor itself.
I find some code from flashrom:
https://github.com/flashrom/flashrom/blob/db7482bb72035fab8386226d1720cde...
It reads SPI flash descriptor using MMIO, but also I don't know how to
write it.(it has no effect when write to the same register with read).
Any hints?
Thanks,
Li Qiang
