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).

-.TH FLASHROM 8 "April 11, 2009"
-.SH NAME
-flashrom \- read, write, and erase BIOS/ROM/flash chips
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B flashrom \fR[\fB\-rwvEVfLhR\fR] [\fB\-c\fR chipname] [\fB\-s\fR exclude_start] [\fB\-e\fR exclude_end]
-         [\fB-m\fR vendor:part] [\fB-l\fR file.layout] [\fB-i\fR image_name] [file]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B flashrom
-is a utility for reading, writing, and erasing flash ROM chips.
-It's often used to flash BIOS/coreboot/firmware images.
-.PP
-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.
-.PP
-(see
-.B http://coreboot.org
-for details on coreboot)
-.SH OPTIONS
-If no file is specified, then all that happens
-is that flash info is dumped and the flash chip is set to writable.
-.TP
-.B "\-r, \-\-read <file>"
-Read flash ROM contents and save them into the given
-.BR <file> .
-.TP
-.B "\-w, \-\-write <file>"
-Write file into flash ROM (default when
-.B <file>
-is specified).
-.TP
-.B "\-v, \-\-verify <file>"
-Verify the flash ROM contents against the given
-.BR <file> .
-.TP
-.B "\-E, \-\-erase"
-Erase the flash ROM chip.
-.TP
-.B "\-V, \-\-verbose"
-More verbose output.
-.TP
-.B "\-c, \-\-chip" <chipname>
-Probe only for specified flash ROM chip.
-.TP
-.B "\-s, \-\-estart" <addr>
-Exclude start position (obsolete).
-.TP
-.B "\-e, \-\-eend" <addr> 
-Exclude end postion (obsolete).
-.TP
-.B "\-m, \-\-mainboard" <[vendor:]part>
-Override mainboard settings. This option is needed for some mainboards,
-see the
-.B "flashrom \-\-list\-supported"
-output for a list. The vendor is not required when the board name is unique.
-.TP
-.B "\-f, \-\-force"
-Force write without checking whether the ROM image file is really meant
-to be used on this board.
-.sp
-Note: This check only works while coreboot is running, and only for those
-boards where the coreboot code supports it.
-.TP
-.B "\-l, \-\-layout <file>"
-Read ROM layout from
-.BR <file> .
-.TP
-.B "\-i, \-\-image <name>"
-Only flash image
-.B <name>
-from flash layout.
-.TP
-.B "\-L, \-\-list\-supported"
-List the ROM chips, chipsets, and mainboards supported by flashrom.
-The list of mainboards consists of those boards which need a special
-ROM write-enable function for flashrom to work.
-.sp
-There are many other boards which will work out of the box, without such
-special support in flashrom. Some of the known-good/known-bad and tested ones
-are listed at
-.BR http://coreboot.org/Flashrom#Supported_mainboards ,
-but the list is not exhaustive, of course.
-.sp
-Please let us know if you can verify other boards to work or not work out
-of the box.
-.TP
-.B "\-h, \-\-help"
-Show a help text and exit.
-.TP
-.B "\-R, \-\-version"
-Show version information and exit.
-.SH 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.
-.SH BUGS
-Please report any bugs at
-.BR http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/newticket ","
-or on the coreboot mailing list
-.RB "(" http://coreboot.org/Mailinglist ")."
