Hello, After the split in the flashrom upstream, one of the old devs (Nico Huber) took to maintaining the fork which carries on with the original mission.
This fork is called flashrom-stable and it is part of the Coreboot tree too. So far it has slightly better chip support than the former upstream and a major feature is the focus on the core mission instead of getting lost in the rust hype as happened to the upstream thereof. I have adapted a package build from the AUR, with minimal changes to make it work under Parabola's requirements and conditions. Tested currently fully on a ThinkPad X200 (x86_64), but I see no glaring issues as to why it won't run on other platforms. -- Kind Regards, Wael Karram.
