Description:  Identify, read, write, erase, and verify BIOS/ROM/flash chips flashrom is a tool for identifying, reading, writing, verifying and erasing flash chips. It's often used to flash BIOS/EFI/coreboot/firmware/optionROM 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, TSOP32/40/48, and BGA chips, which use various protocols such as LPC, FWH, parallel flash, or SPI. . The tool can be used to flash BIOS/firmware images for example -- be it proprietary BIOS images or coreboot (previously known as LinuxBIOS) images. . It can also be used to read the current existing BIOS/firmware from a flash chip. . Currently supported programmers include: .   * internal (for in-system flashing in the mainboard)   * dummy (virtual programmer for testing flashrom)   * nic3com (for flash ROMs on 3COM network cards)   * nicrealtek (for flash ROMs on Realtek and SMC 1211 network cards)   * nicnatsemi (for flash ROMs on National Semiconductor DP838* network cards)   * nicintel (for parallel flash ROMs on Intel 10/100Mbit network cards)   * gfxnvidia (for flash ROMs on NVIDIA graphics cards)   * drkaiser (for flash ROMs on Dr. Kaiser PC-Waechter PCI cards)   * satasii (for flash ROMs on Silicon Image SATA/IDE controllers)   * satamv (for flash ROMs on Marvell SATA controllers)   * atahpt (for flash ROMs on Highpoint ATA/RAID controllers)   * atavia (for flash ROMs on VIA VT6421A SATA controllers)   * atapromise (for flash ROMs on Promise PDC2026x ATA/RAID controllers)   * it8212 (for flash ROMs on ITE IT8212F ATA/RAID controller)   * ft2232_spi (for SPI flash ROMs attached to an FT2232/FT4232H/FT232H family     based USB SPI programmer), including the DLP Design DLP-USB1232H,     FTDI FT2232H Mini-Module, FTDI FT4232H Mini-Module, openbiosprog-spi,     Amontec JTAGkey/JTAGkey-tiny/JTAGkey-2, Dangerous Prototypes Bus Blaster,     Olimex ARM-USB-TINY/-H, Olimex ARM-USB-OCD/-H, TIAO/DIYGADGET USB     Multi-Protocol Adapter (TUMPA), TUMPA Lite, GOEPEL PicoTAP,     Google Servo v1/v2, and FIC OpenMoko Neo1973 Debug board.   * serprog (for flash ROMs attached to a programmer speaking serprog),     including AVR flasher by Urja Rannikko, AVR flasher by eightdot,     Arduino Mega flasher by fritz, InSystemFlasher by Juhana Helovuo,     and atmegaXXu2-flasher by Stefan Tauner.   * buspirate_spi (for SPI flash ROMs attached to a Bus Pirate)   * dediprog (for SPI flash ROMs attached to a Dediprog SF100)   * rayer_spi (for SPI flash ROMs attached to a RayeR parport based programmer)   * pony_spi (for SPI flash ROMs attached to a SI-Prog serial port     bitbanging adapter)   * nicintel_spi (for SPI flash ROMs on Intel Gigabit network cards)   * ogp_spi (for SPI flash ROMs on Open Graphics Project graphics card)   * linux_spi (for SPI flash ROMs accessible via /dev/spidevX.Y on Linux)   * usbblaster_spi (for SPI flash ROMs attached to an Altera USB-Blaster)   * nicintel_eeprom (for SPI EEPROMs on Intel Gigabit network cards)   * mstarddc_spi (for SPI flash ROMs accessible through DDC in MSTAR-equipped     displays)   * pickit2_spi (for SPI flash ROMs accessible via Microchip PICkit2)   * ch341a_spi (for SPI flash ROMs attached to WCH CH341A)
