LinuxBIOS Table and Mainboard Identification

Flashrom reads the LinuxBIOS table to determine the current mainboard.

Flashrom reads the LinuxBIOS table to determine the current mainboard

or if you want to override these values, you can specify -m, e.g.:
flashrom -w --mainboard ISLAND:ARUMA island_aruma.rom

ROM Layout Support

If you only want to update the normal image in a ROM you can say:
flashrom -w --layout rom.layout --image normal island_aruma.rom
flashrom -w --layout rom.layout --image normal agami_aruma.rom
To update normal and fallback but leave the VGA BIOS alone, say:
flashrom -w -l rom.layout -i normal -i fallback island_aruma.rom
flashrom -w -l rom.layout -i normal -i fallback agami_aruma.rom
Currently overlapping sections are not supported.
ROM layouts should replace the -s and -e option since they are more
flexible and they should lead to a ROM update file format with the
ROM layout and the ROM image in one file (cpio, zip or something?)

DISK on Chip support is currently disabled since it is considered unstable.
