Dump

The espefuse.py dump command allows:

  • display raw values of eFuse registers, grouped by block. Output corresponds directly to eFuse register values in the register space.

  • save dump into files.

Optional arguments:

  • --format - Selects the dump format:

    • default - Usual console eFuse dump;

    • united - All eFuse blocks are stored in one file;

    • separated - Each eFuse block is placed in a separate file. The tool will create multiple files based on the given the --file_name argument. Example: “–file_name /path/blk.bin”, blk0.bin, blk1.bin … blkN.bin. Use the burn_block_data cmd to write it back to another chip.

  • --file_name - The path to the file in which to save the dump, if not specified, output to the console.

Raw Values Of Efuse Registers

The number of blocks depends on the chips and can vary from 4 to 11. A block can have different names, which can be used with burn_key or burn_block_data.

The order of registers in the dump:

                                                    REG_0    REG_1    REG_2    REG_3    REG_4    REG_5
BLOCK0          (                ) [0 ] read_regs: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000

In the last lines, which are separated from the main dump, you can see the encoding scheme status for each block. If there are all zeros, then there are no coding scheme errors.

Save Dump To Files

This command saves dump for each block into a separate file. You need to provide the common path name /chip1/blk.bin, it will create files in the given directory (the directory must exist): /chip1/blk0.bin, /chip1/blk1.bin - /chip1/blkN.bin. Use burn_block_data command to write them back to another chip. Note that some blocks may be read-protected, in which case the data in the block will be zero.

> espefuse.py dump --format separated --file_name backup/chip1/blk.bin

=== Run "dump" command ===
backup/chip1/blk0.bin
backup/chip1/blk1.bin
backup/chip1/blk2.bin
backup/chip1/blk3.bin
backup/chip1/blk4.bin
backup/chip1/blk5.bin
backup/chip1/blk6.bin
backup/chip1/blk7.bin
backup/chip1/blk8.bin
backup/chip1/blk9.bin
backup/chip1/blk10.bin

These dump files can be written to another chip:

> espefuse.py burn_block_data BLOCK0 backup/chip1/blk0.bin \
BLOCK1 backup/chip1/blk1.bin \
BLOCK2 backup/chip1/blk2.bin

To save all eFuse blocks in one file, use the following command:

> espefuse.py dump --format united --file_name backup/chip1/efuses.bin

=== Run "dump" command ===
backup/chip1/efuses.bin
