Flashrom is  a utility for reading, writing, erasing, and verifying flash ROM chips.  It's often used to flash BIOS/coreboot/firmware/EFI images. It supports  a wide range of DIP32, PLCC32, DIP8, SO8/SOIC8, and TSOP32/40/48 chips,  which use various protocols such as LPC, FWH, parallel flash, or SPI.  The tool can be used to flash BIOS/firmware images, for example, be it  proprietary BIOS images or coreboot (previously known as LinuxBIOS)  images. It can also be used to read the current existing BIOS/firmware  from a flash chipFlashrom is a utility for reading, writing, erasing, and verifying flash ROM chips.

The tool can be used to flash BIOS/firmware images, for example, be it proprietary BIOS images or coreboot (previously known as LinuxBIOS) images. It can also be used to read the current existing BIOS/firmware from a flash chip. In this new version of Flashrom:

  • Support was added for external flashers: 3Com NICs, SiI SATA controllers, ITE IT87* SuperI/Os, FT2232H/FT4232H based SPI serial adapters, AVR based flasher (with AVR source code), and Dummy tracing flasher;
  • An universal external flasher protocol was added;
  • Automatic write/erase verification is done;
  • Support for dozens of flash chips, chipsets, and mainboards was added;
  • No root privileges are needed for most external flashers;
  • UI was improved and made more verbose;
  • Fast bus type dependent probing is used, increasing write speed by 100 times for some chips;
  • Reliability fixes were made for buggy hardware and corner case spec conformance.
