From b1ff95c14d62ffad2bb417aa3372fe767342de7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Georgi Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2009 22:47:06 +0000 Subject: 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).

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 ")." -.SH LICENCE -.B flashrom -is covered by the GNU General Public License (GPL), version 2.
