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, and
TSOP40 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.
