- Display the BSD hints only when compiled for a specific BSD - On Linux check the user's uid to see if flashrom run with root privileges - Add a note about the dmesg check if the flashrom run as root and have no IO privilege TEST=Run flashrom with internal programmed on a Secure boot enabled machine. You should not get the privilege level error, but rather a suggestion about the security policies.

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`.
