Downloads

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

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 0.9.1 (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

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.

  • Installation from source: Emerge-Pkg flashrom
  • Installation of binaries: mine -i flashrom-0.9.0.tar.bz2

The version from trunk (latest revision while writing this is r877) is usable too but you Bold textNEED devel/libpci and devel/gmake from ports.

Furthermore, edit Makefile and change line 254 into this: - @$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) .test1.c -o .test1 -lpci $(LIBS) >/dev/null 2>&1 && \ + @$(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) .test1.c -o .test1 -lpci $(LIBS) >/dev/null 2>&1 && \
