Downloads

You can browse the flashrom source code online, or download and install flashrom and/or its source code as explained below.

Installation from source

Requirements:

• pciutils development package (pciutils-dev/libpci-dev/pciutils-devel, depending on OS/distribution)
• zlib development package (zlib1g-dev/zlib-devel, depending on OS/distribution)
• libftdi development package (libftdi-dev), optional support for the external FT2232SPI flasher
• subversion (if you checkout the source and build manually)

Manual installation from source:

If you just want to use the latest release, download flashrom 0.9.2 (source) here (sig).

If you want the latest source code (for developers), check out our code from subversion:

$ svn co svn://coreboot.org/flashrom/trunk flashrom
$ cd flashrom
$ make
$ sudo make install

You can also download source code snapshots here.

Installation of binary packages

• Debian: sudo aptitude install flashrom
• Ubuntu: sudo aptitude install flashrom
• Fedora: sudo yum install flashrom
• Gentoo: emerge flashrom
• Mandriva: urpmi flashrom
• openSUSE: yast -i coreboot-utils
  • For distributions older than openSUSE Factory (11.0) you find "backports" in the openSUSE Build Service.
• T2 SDE
  • Installation from source: Emerge-Pkg flashrom
  • Installation of binaries: mine -i flashrom-0.9.1.tar.bz2
• Source Mage GNU/Linux: cast flashrom
• FreeBSD: cd /usr/ports/sysutils/flashrom && make install clean

The version from trunk (latest revision while writing this is r968) is usable too, but you NEED to install devel/libpci, sysutils/dmidecode and devel/gmake from ports.

Run gmake.

• Windows: There is a (very old and probably obsolete) Windows port of the flashrom utility at DarmawanMappatutu_Salihun.tar.gz.
  In 2009, several patches for Windows, based on a more recent revision of flashrom, were made available:
  • [flashrom] GSoCs Winflashrom versus r126 [1]
  • [flashrom] [PATCH] new windows port [2]
• DOS:

A DOS binary can be cross compiled using Linux. Instructions on how to compile can be found here: http://www.flashrom.org/trac/flashrom/browser/trunk/README#L78.
