This is an archived release notes page. For the release notes of the latest stable release please see here.

After about 1.5 years, we can announce a fresh flashrom 1.1. Right after branching flashrom 1.0, we merged SPI 4-byte address (4BA) support for most compatible programmers, enabling the use of flash chips bigger than 16MiB. Half a dozen new programmers made it into the release, and we also had some more user-visible changes.

New major user-visible features

4-byte address support for many SPI programmers
New option to use a reference file for flash contents (--flash-contents)
Layout support for coreboot's FMAP format (--fmap, --fmap-file)
BAUD rate selection for Buspirate SPI
Support for the ENE Embedded Debug Interface (EDI), probably our first non-jedec SPI target
On Intel ME enabled systems, internal flashing is allowed by default

New programmers

ENE Embedded Debug Interface EDI
Linux' MTD interface
Digilent SPI for the iCEblink40 development board
Developerbox/CP2104 bit banging
J-Link SPI
Dediprog firmwares >= 7.2.30
