flashrom: Run your BIOS/EFI/firmware updates under any free OS
This talk is a short introduction to flashrom. You will learn about flashrom's features, the reliability promise, how to run a standard BIOS update and how to perform advanced recovery tricks and firmware dumping. Common pitfalls and future directions will be revealed, and you get to watch a live demonstration of a BIOS update without rebooting.
flashrom is the open source utility of choice to identify, read, write, verify and erase flash chips.
flashrom is commonly used to flash BIOS/EFI/firmware from a running Linux, *BSD, OpenSolaris and Mac OS X, but it also has the ability to reflash graphics cards, SATA controllers, network cards and one game console. A wide variety of external programmers is supported as well, from ultra-cheap homemade setups to high end commercial machines. Hotflashing and crossflashing complete the feature set.
