- Update manpage, we now report supported boards via -L. - Add some missing escaping for '-' characters in the manpage. Corresponding to flashrom svn r543. - Shorten some of the really long device names, so that -L output looks nicer. - Display a "table header" for all entries/columns in -L output. - Make -L output tabular for all lists for better readability. - Do not print "unknown XXXX SPI chip" entries in -L output. - And random other cosmetics...

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 Requirements
------------------
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.
