I've no code in flashrom yet, but I made a flashrom compatible arduino programmer and participated in testing and documentation.

My interests

• Easily available external flashers.
• BIOS->Coreboot flashing on the Libreboot compatible laptops.
• NIC flashing (to flash ipxe)
• GPU flashing (to flash sgabios)

My hardware

Mainboard based programmers

Device or programmer	Flash chip	Test result
Asus M4A785T-M mainboard	W25x80 (DIP8)	Works with the BIOS Works with coreboot
Asrock E350M1	A25L032	Works from coreboot Untested from the BIOS
Lenovo X60	MX25L1605D/MX25L1608D	Works with coreboot.
Lenovo X60	SST25VF016B	Works with coreboot.
Lenovo X60T	MX25L1605D/MX25L1608D	Works with coreboot
Lenovo T60	MX25L1605D/MX25L1608D	Works with coreboot
PCEngines Alix.1c		Works with coreboot Works with the recovery LPC dongle
Asus N71JQ		Requires some bit flippings(with ifdtool and an external programmer) in the flash descriptor. Not tested internally.

External programmers

Device or programmer	Status
Arduino uno (serprog)	Requires a 5v->3.3v level shifter for most current flash chips. Issues with the 8u2/8u3 when using the serial port at high speed.
Arduino duemillanove (serprog)	Requires a 5v->3.3v level shifter for most current flash chips. Works fine otherwise.
Arduino Due ( no support for it yet )	3.3v level output on SPI. Not working: No support for it yet.
openmoko debug board (ft2232_spi:type=openmoko)	Works fine
3com PCI NIC (10b7:9200) (nic3com)	Works fine
Sata SII PCI card	writing and erasing worked fine.
Really old PCI realtek cards	No parallel chip to test
Some GNU/Linux embedded boards (linux_spi)	Backporting some mainline kernel patches is required on some very old (2.6.35) kernel for omap3. Works fine otherwise
An atahpt PCI card	Didn't work when adding the PCI IDS, but the atahpt is known not to work according to the mailing list.
old AGP Nvidia card	Worked with a patch (documented below)
Nvidia geforce 210 PCIe 16x card	didn't work when adding the PIC IDs

I've also the following hardware:

• pomona clip for recovering my x60
• some chips(2MB SO8(currently soldered), 16MB SO8)

Work in progress for the wiki

Don't try that, it's dangerous!!!!

Howto(Dangerous, not ready for the wiki)

• Howto flash sgabios on an Nvidia video card

• Howto flash ipxe on an 3com network card

• /Benchmarks
