This copy of flashrom is old and unmaintained. Delete it to avoid

confusion, after we had a grace period to get people to move over to the
new repository.

History stays available for the archaeologists and for ancient
checkouts (potentially with local changes). Use "svn diff" to get local
changes, and apply it to a newer tree (if you manage to apply it, that
is).

-flashrom README
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-flashrom is a utility for reading, writing, and erasing flash ROM chips.
-It's often used to flash BIOS/coreboot/firmware images.
-
-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.
-
-(see http://coreboot.org for details on coreboot)
-
-
-Build Requirements
-------------------
-
-To build the flashrom utility you need to install the following packages:
-
-* pciutils
-* pciutils-devel / pciutils-dev / libpci-dev
-* zlib-devel / zlib1g-dev
-
-
-Usage / Options
----------------
-
-Please see the flashrom(8) manpage.
-
-
-Exit status
------------
-
-flashrom exits with 0 on success, 1 on most failures but with 2 if /dev/mem
-(/dev/xsvc on Solaris) can not be opened and with 3 if a call to mmap() fails.
-
-
-coreboot Table and Mainboard Identification
---------------------------------------------
-
-flashrom reads the coreboot table to determine the current mainboard. If no
-coreboot table could be read or if you want to override these values, you can
-specify -m, e.g.:
-
- $ flashrom -w --mainboard AGAMI:ARUMA agami_aruma.rom
-
-See the 'Supported mainboards' section in the output of 'flashrom -L' for
-a list of boards which require the specification of the board name, if no
-coreboot table is found.
-
-
-ROM Layout Support
-------------------
-
-flashrom supports ROM layouts. This allows you to flash certain parts of
-the flash chip only. A ROM layout file looks like follows:
-
-  00000000:00008fff gfxrom
-  00009000:0003ffff normal
-  00040000:0007ffff fallback
-
-  i.e.:
-  startaddr:endaddr name
-
-  All addresses are offsets within the file, not absolute addresses!
-  
-If you only want to update the normal image in a ROM you can say:
-
-  flashrom -w --layout rom.layout --image normal agami_aruma.rom
-     
-To update normal and fallback but leave the VGA BIOS alone, say:
-
-  flashrom -w -l rom.layout -i normal -i fallback agami_aruma.rom
- 
-Currently overlapping sections are not supported.
-
-ROM layouts should replace the -s and -e option since they are more 
-flexible and they should lead to a ROM update file format with the 
-ROM layout and the ROM image in one file (cpio, zip or something?).
-
-
-Supported Flash Chips / Chipsets / Mainboards
----------------------------------------------
-
-Please check the output of 'flashrom -L' for the list of supported
-flash chips, chipsets/southbridges, and mainboards.
-
-See also http://coreboot.org/Flashrom for more details.
