TEST=ich_descriptors_tool is able to detect "wildcat" chipset and show
below information:
> ./util/ich_descriptors_tool/ich_descriptors_tool
Need the file name of a descriptor image to read from.
usage: './util/ich_descriptors_tool/ich_descriptors_tool -f
<image file name> [-c <chipset name>] [-d]'
...
...
To also print the data stored in the descriptor straps you have to
indicate the chipset series with the '-c' parameter and one of the
possible arguments:
- "ich8",
- "ich9",
- "ich10",
- "apollo" for Intel's Apollo Lake SoC.
- "gemini" for Intel's Gemini Lake SoC.
- "jasper" for Intel's Jasper Lake SoC.
- "meteor" for Intel's Meteor Lake SoC.
- "panther" for Intel's Panther Lake SoC.
- "wildcat" for Intel's Wildcat Lake SoC.
...
...
- "300" or "cannon" for Intel's 300 series chipsets.
- "400" or "comet" for Intel's 400 series chipsets.
- "500" or "tiger" for Intel's 500 series chipsets.
- "600" or "alder" for Intel's 600 series chipsets.

flashrom README
===============
flashrom is a utility for detecting, reading, writing, verifying and erasing
flash chips. It is often used to flash BIOS/EFI/coreboot/firmware images
in-system using a supported mainboard, but it also supports flashing of network
cards (NICs), SATA controller cards, and other external devices which can
program flash chips.
It supports a wide range of flash chips (most commonly found in SOIC8, DIP8,
SOIC16, WSON8, PLCC32, DIP32, TSOP32, and TSOP40 packages), which use various
protocols such as LPC, FWH, parallel flash, or SPI.
Do not use flashrom on laptops (yet)! The embedded controller (EC) present in
many laptops might interact badly with any attempts to communicate with the
flash chip and may brick your laptop.
Please make a backup of your flash chip before writing to it.
Please see the flashrom(8) manpage :doc:`classic_cli_manpage`.
The list of platforms that package flashrom can be found on `repology.org <https://repology.org/project/flashrom/versions>`_.
Information about recent releases can be found in :doc:`/release_notes/index`.
Building / installing / packaging
---------------------------------
flashrom is built with **meson**. TLDR:
::
meson setup builddir
meson compile -C builddir
meson test -C builddir
meson install -C builddir
For full detailed instructions, follow the information in
:doc:`dev_guide/building_from_source`.
If you are interested in development, have a look at :doc:`dev_guide/development_guide`.
