Hi Peter,
flashrom is a package for custom builds, but we don't include it in the
standard builds.
If you want, I could build and create a flashrom-1.1.tar.gz for you to use. If
yes, are you using the 64-bit genx86_64-serial image ? Let me know.
But in general, if your BIOS is working it is usually best to leave as is.
