- Add explicit installation instructions in the README. - Code cleanups, coding style fixes, drop dead code. - Drop duplicate board listings from -L output (some boards were explicitly recorded in boards_ok[] _and_ implicitly via the board-enables table. - Add MS-xxxx numbers to MSI boards where we can find that info. - Fix typo, "K8T Neo2" should have been "K8T Neo2-F" actually, at least according to the comment of w83627thf_gpio4_4_raise_2e() which says "Suited for: MSI K8T Neo2-F".

flashrom README
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
flashrom is a utility for reading, writing, verifying and erasing flash ROM
|
|
chips. It's 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 DIP32, PLCC32, DIP8, SO8/SOIC8, TSOP32, and
|
|
TSOP40 chips, which use various protocols such as LPC, FWH, parallel flash,
|
|
or SPI.

Build Instructions
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
To build flashrom you need to install the following packages or ports:
|
|
|
|
Linux et al:
|
|
|
|
* pciutils
|
|
* pciutils-devel / pciutils-dev / libpci-dev
|
|
* zlib-devel / zlib1g-dev
|
|
|
|
On FreeBSD, you need the following ports:
|
|
|
|
* devel/gmake
|
|
* devel/libpci
|
|
|
|
To compile on Linux, use:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
To compile on FreeBSD, use:
|
|
|
|
gmake
|
|
|
|
To compile on Solaris, use:
|
|
|
|
gmake LDFLAGS="-L$pathtolibpci -lpci -lz" CC="gcc -I$pathtopciheaders" \
|
|
CFLAGS=-O2
|
|
|
|
To compile on DragonFly BSD, use:
|
|
|
|
ln -s /usr/pkg/include/pciutils pci
|
|
gmake CFLAGS=-I. LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib -lpci -lz"
|
|
|
|
To compile and run on Darwin/Mac OS X:
|
|
|
|
Install DirectIO from coresystems GmbH.
|
|
DirectIO is available at http://www.coresystems.de/en/directio.
