; AST2000/2100 Windows SOC Flash Utility ReadME
;===============================================================================
1.Platform Requirement:
- Windows Environment
- M/B with PCI Slots
- Support ASPEED Chips
  >> AST1000/2000 A1 and after
  >> AST1100/2050/2100
- Support O.S.
  >> Windows 2000
  >> Windows XP x86/x64
  >> Windows Server 2003 x86/x64
  >> Windows Server 2008 x86/x64
  >> Windows Vista x86/x64
2.Flash Utility Usage (New Interface):
- Run in Command Prompt
- Format:
  >> socflash [operand]
     ++ operand list
     +++ if=the update file
     +++ of=the backup file
     +++ cs=chip select
     ++++ AST1000/2000: 0/1 (default: 0)
     ++++ AST1100/2050/2100: 0/1/2
     +++++ default: get from SCU trapping
     ++++++ if Boot Trapping is disabled, then set to 0 for AST2100, and 2 for others     
     +++ flashtype=flash chip type
     ++++ 0/1/2: NOR/NAND/SPI
     +++ skip=the skip size in bytes at the start of input file (default=0)
     +++ offset=the offset in bytes at the start of the flash (default=0)
     +++ count=the size in bytes copy to the flash (default=the size of the flash)
     +++ option=f|2|c
     ++++ f: skip the comparision of flash data and force to update
     ++++ 2: two flash update support
     ++++ c: use chip erase instead of sector erase 
     +++++ AST1100/2050/2100: two SPI solution: 1st SPI is on CS2; 2nd SPI is on CS0 
     +++++ AST2000: two NOR Flash Solution: 1st Flash is on CS0; 2nd Flash is on CS1
  >> example:
     ++ socflash if=new.bin of=old.bin option=f
     +++ update the firmware image to new.bin
     +++ bacup the old firmware to old.bin
     +++ force to update without comparision
3.Flash Utility Usage (Legacy Interface):
- Run in Command Prompt
- Format:  
  >> Normal: SOCFlash [the update soc file*] [the backup file*] [Chip Select] [Flash Type] [Start Offset] [Programming Size]
  >> Backup Only: SOCFlash -b [the backup file*] [Chip Select] [Flash Type] [Start Offset] [Programming Size]
  >> Skip Backup: SOCFlash -s [the update soc file*] [Chip Select] [Flash Type] [Start Offset] [Programming Size]
     ++ The fields add * means must have
- Options:  
  >> Chip Select:
     ++ AST1000/2000: 0/1 (default: 0)
     ++ AST1100/2050/2100: 0/1/2
     +++ default: get from SCU trapping
     ++++ if Boot Trapping is disabled, then set to 0 for AST2100, and 2 for others     
  >> Flash Type: (AST1100/2050/2100)
     ++ 0/1/2: NOR/NAND/SPI   
  >> Start Offset: start offset from image file (default: 0x0)
  >> Programming Size: The size need to program to Flash
- Example: socflash all.bin old.bin

5.FAQ
- Show Error Message: Cannot Load Windows WDM Driver Properly
  >> Root Cause: Server2008 x64, Vista x64 cannot allow the un-signed driver
  >> Solution:
  +++ Restart System
  +++ Press F8
  +++ select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" and boot into the system
