Description

The adi_flash_util binary appears to be handing bad parameters to flashrom in pfSense 2.4.5.

It can read the flash:

[2.4.5-RELEASE][admin@8860.stevew.lan]/root: adi_flash_util -r
Reading flash :
SN: 0123456789
Serial Number Read from Flash 0123456789
Done. Please power cycle the board if the flash has been updated

But fails when it tries to write to it:

[2.4.5-RELEASE][admin@8860.stevew.lan]/root: adi_flash_util -w -s 9876543210
Programming Serial Number ...
Failed to write flash data, exiting ...

However flashrom itself can write to the SPI flash:

flashrom -p internal -w /usr/local/share/pfSense-pkg-Netgate_Coreboot_Upgrade/roms/ADI_RCCVE-01.00.00.17-nodebug.rom -o /tmp/test.log
flashrom v1.1 on FreeBSD 11.3-STABLE (amd64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org

Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 4, resolution: 1ns).
coreboot table found at 0x7fbf0c00.
Found chipset "Intel Avoton/Rangeley".
Enabling flash write... OK.
Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q64.V" (8192 kB, SPI) mapped at physical address 0x00000000ff800000.
Reading old flash chip contents... done.
Erasing and writing flash chip... Erase/write done.
Verifying flash... VERIFIED.
