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 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, TSOP40,
and TSOP48 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.

Changes: flashrom (0.9.2+r1141-2~bpo50+1) lenny-backports; urgency=low
.
* Rebuild for lenny-backports.
.
flashrom (0.9.2+r1141-2) unstable; urgency=high
.
* Drop alpha and netbsd-alpha from the arch list for now (builds fail).
+ Keeping "urgency=high" due to high-priority fixes in the last upload,
in order to allow those fixes to migrate to testing.
+ It's unclear how well alpha (if at all) is supported upstream at this
point. There's a compile-time #error in the upstream code breaking
the build intentionally on alpha right now.
Alpha support will be re-enabled as soon as this has been sorted out
upstream, but it may take quite a while.
.
flashrom (0.9.2+r1141-1) unstable; urgency=high
.
* New upstream release. Urgency high due to multiple critical bugfixes that
could potentially brick the PC (or worse: laptop) of users.
Other important fixes include:
+ Properly writing Atmel AT25 chips would fail on some SPI controllers.
+ Fix breakage with brick-potential on various non-x86 architectures.
+ Fix broken reads on Winbond W25x16, especially on some ICH SPI chipsets.
+ Fix write failure on 3COM NICs with parallel flash.
+ Fix "byte merge" related corruption on some VIA chipsets.
+ Fix some format string bugs.
+ Fix hard hang on some recent (e.g. QM57) Intel chipsets.
* Install new upstream udev rules file to allow users to use flashrom
without root permissions on some (USB-based) programmers.
* Standards-Version: 3.9.1 (no changes required).
* debian/copyright: Updates.
.
flashrom (0.9.2+r1028-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release.
* Add dmidecode as Recommends on architectures where it's available.
* debian/README.Debian: Fix typo.
* debian/copyright: Update upstream svn URL.
.
flashrom (0.9.1+r946-1) unstable; urgency=high
.
* New upstream release.
+ Urgency high, as it fixes multiple important bugs, including such bugs
which can potentially "brick" a user's mainboard. Details at
http://www.flashrom.org/pipermail/flashrom/2010-March/002507.html.
+ This build should have a non-truncated manpage (Closes: #566217).
* Standards-Version: 3.8.4 (no changes required).
.

.
flashrom (0.9+r631-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release.
+ The command line usage has changed a bit in this release:
+ Combined operations like -wv or -Ewv are no longer allowed.
+ The -w option automatically does an auto-verify after writing
(but you can also explicitly do it via 'flashrom -v file').
+ The -E option is also automatically verified per default.
+ Support for external programmers was added (-p), see manpage.
+ Acer Aspire One is now marked unsupported upstream (Closes: #528308).
* Add build-dependency on libftdi-dev, flashrom now supports an
external libftdi-based programmer (ft2232spi).
* debian/patches/20_drop_svndef.patch: Drop, we use 'make tarball' now,
which properly handles svn version printing in flashrom.
* Standards-Version: 3.8.2 (no changes required).
* debian/copyright: Update.
.
flashrom (0.9+r544-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
