From 20ba8eb7abc973ad70844b29412dc958f0629866 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claus Gindhart Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 09:07:57 +0000 Subject: Flash pages, which where excluded from updating using the exclude or the layout option, as well as areas, whose flash contents already contain the desired data, will be skipped. These ensures absolute data security of critical areas (BIOS boot block), e.g. against a sudden power off or a CPU hangup during flashing. As a nice side effect, it speeds up the flash process, if the BIOS to be flashed is very similar to the version in flash.
