Comparing structs (romentries in this case) with memcmp won't work if the struct includes pointers. Also in this case romentry region is compared to the one loaded from dump, and from dump only start, end and name are filled in. https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/570 Prior effort: https://review.coreboot.org/c/flashrom/+/72433 Change-Id: I715969036c8e516aac8d90b46830f1f92ae6a160 Signed-off-by: Anastasia Klimchuk <aklm@flashrom.org> Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/c/flashrom/+/85292 Reviewed-by: Peter Marheine <pmarheine@chromium.org> Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org>
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`.
Building / installing / packaging
---------------------------------
flashrom is built with **meson**. TLDR:
::
meson setup builddir
meson compile -C builddir
meson test -C builddir
meson install -C builddir
