Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This is a simple EEPROM module meant to enable reading the first 256 bytes
|
|
of an EEPROM (on a SDRAM DIMM for example). However, it will access serial
|
|
EEPROMs on any I2C adapter. The supported devices are generically called
|
|
24Cxx, and are listed above; however the numbering for these
|
|
industry-standard devices may vary by manufacturer.
|
|
|
|
This module was a programming exercise to get used to the new project
|
|
organization laid out by Frodo, but it should be at least completely
|
|
effective for decoding the contents of EEPROMs on DIMMs.
|
|
|
|
DIMMS will typically contain a 24C01A or 24C02, or the 34C02 variants.
|
|
The other devices will not be found on a DIMM because they respond to more
|
|
than one address.
|
|
|
|
DDC Monitors may contain any device. Often a 24C01, which responds to all 8
|
|
addresses, is found.
|
|
|
|
Recent Sony Vaio laptops have an EEPROM at 0x57. We couldn't get the
|
|
specification, so it is guess work and far from being complete.
|
|
|
|
The Microchip 24AA52/24LCS52, ST M34C02, and others support an additional
|
|
software write protect register at 0x30 - 0x37 (0x20 less than the memory
|
|
location). The chip responds to "write quick" detection at this address but
|
|
does not respond to byte reads. If this register is present, the lower 128
|
|
bytes of the memory array are not write protected. Any byte data write to
|
|
this address will write protect the memory array permanently, and the
|
|
device will no longer respond at the 0x30-37 address. The eeprom driver
|
|
does not support this register.
|
|
|
|
Lacking functionality:
|
|
|
|
* Full support for larger devices (24C04, 24C08, 24C16). These are not
|
|
typically found on a PC. These devices will appear as separate devices at
|
|
multiple addresses.
|
|
|
|
* Support for really large devices (24C32, 24C64, 24C128, 24C256, 24C512).
|
|
These devices require two-byte address fields and are not supported.
|
|
|
|
* Enable Writing. Again, no technical reason why not, but making it easy
|
|
to change the contents of the EEPROMs (on DIMMs anyway) also makes it easy
|
|
to disable the DIMMs (potentially preventing the computer from booting)
|
|
until the values are restored somehow.
|
|
|
|
Use:
|
|
|
|
After inserting the module (and any other required SMBus/i2c modules), you
|
|
should have some EEPROM directories in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/* of names such
|
|
as "0-0050". Inside each of these is a series of files, the eeprom file
|
|
contains the binary data from EEPROM.
