Flashrom supports many different programmers, including PC mainboards, various PCI cards with soldered-on flash chips, and various USB/serial-port/parallel-port based programmers.
Programmer | Status | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
internal | supported |
Flashrom supports a large number of mainboards, other mainboards may be supported out-of-the-box too, or might require a little additional code in flashrom. | |
dummy | supported |
The "dummy" programmer is a software-only implementation of a simple programmer which is mostly useful for flashrom development and testing. | |
nic3com | supported |
Flashrom supports some 3Com network cards to reflash the (parallel) flash attached to these cards, but it is also possible to use these cards to reflash other chips which fit in there electrically. Please note that the small number of address lines connected to the chip may make accessing large chips impossible. The maximum supported chip size is 128KB. | |
nicrealtek | supported |
TODO | |
gfxnvidia | supported |
Flashrom supports some Nvidia graphic cards to reflash the (parallel) flash attached to these cards, but it is also possible to use these cards to reflash other chips which fit in there electrically. | |
drkaiser | supported |

satasii | supported |
Flashrom supports some SiI ATA/SATA controllers to reflash the flash attached to these controller cards, but it is also possible to use these cards to reflash other chips which fit in there electrically. Please note that the small number of address lines connected to the chip may make accessing large chips impossible. | |
