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 various external FT2232SPI flashers
  • libusb development package (libusb-dev), optional support for various USB-based programmers
  • various build utilities like make, gcc etc. (build-essential or similar depending on OS/distribution)
  • subversion (if you checkout the source and build manually)

Manual installation from source:

If you just want to use the latest stable release, download flashrom 0.9.8 (source) here (GPG signature). Older releases can be found here.

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

$ svn co svn://flashrom.org/flashrom/trunk flashrom
$ cd flashrom
$ make
# The next step is optional!
$ sudo make install

The sudo make install is optional: you can run flashrom from its subversion directory with sudo ./flashrom.

You can also download source code snapshots here.

If you are behind a corporate firewall which does not let the native svn protocol through, you can check out the code over https: 

$ svn co https://code.coreboot.org/svn/flashrom/trunk flashrom

Binary packages

IRC nicknames are mentioned in parentheses.

  • DOS:
    • Installation: download files from http://ra.openbios.org/~idwer/flashrom/dos/
    • Maintainer: Idwer Vollering (idwer)
    • A DOS binary can be cross compiled using Linux. Instructions on how to compile can be found in the README. Also general instuctions available on the DOS page.

    • The version from subversion's trunk (latest revision while editing is r1416) is usable as well. To checkout and compile the source code you need to install devel/gmake, devel/libpci, devel/subversion and sysutils/dmidecode, either from ports or using "pkg_add -r". The subversion URI is at the top of this page. Compile with "gmake".
  • Mandriva:
  • OpenBSD:
    • Installation: ?
    • Maintainer: ?
    • TODO: Are there any ports or binary packages for OpenBSD? Building from source is supported as per README.
  • T2 SDE
    • Installation from source: Emerge-Pkg flashrom
    • Installation of binaries: mine -i flashrom-0.9.1.tar.bz2
    • Maintainer: ?
    • ?
  • Ubuntu:
    • Installation: sudo aptitude install flashrom
    • Maintainer: ?, migration happens automatically or semi-automatically from the Debian package
    • package overview
    • You can also install daily builds of flashrom's development source from a special PPA. Please note that these are experimental binaries that may or may not be safe to use. We try to do our best to let dangerous bugs not slip into this, but it may sometimes happen. Usually it is safer to use those than very old (<=0.9.2) stable releases.
  • Windows:
    • Snapshot downloads: http://ra.openbios.org/~idwer/flashrom/mingw/
    • Installation: Currently a build from source is required via MinGW/MSYS, see Windows. Only dummy, ft2232_spi, and buspirate_spi are supported so far.
    • Maintainer: Uwe Hermann (uwe_) and others
    • 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]
