[OLPC-devel] I'm blocked from testing the SPI flashing tool

I'm current blocked from testing/help hack Ron's mods to flashrom for
the SPI flash since I don't have any method of recovery other than
"send me a new board".

To unblock I need one of the following:

Info on how to recover from a failed SPI flash and force the system to
boot from the PLCC device.  I gather from Ron's post that if the EC
code gets hosed you can't power up.  I don't need EC keyboard support
since I'm 100% serial console.

or

Info on the pinout and voltage levels of CN20 so that I can build a
recovery system to access the flash directly.

Thanks.
