The test checks that algorithm for erase functions selection works and there are no regressions. Specifically, test contains an array of test cases. Each case initialises a given initial state of the memory for the mock chip, and layout regions on the chip, and then performs erase and write operations. At the end of operation, test asserts the following: - the state of mock chip memory is as expected, i.e. properly erased or written - erase blocks are invoked in expected order and expected number of them - chip operation (erase or write) returned 0.

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
