Hi Stefan, thanks for the quick response! Do you know what does this "core" of flashrom include in terms of dediprog API for more specific operations (sector erase, read\write byte\word)? Would it be reasonably possible for me (using the source code of flashrom) to add what I need, even if it's specific to dediprog or to some specific flash type?

Hello, currently there exist already some patches that allow to read and write single sectors with some preparation and the user interface is probably not what you want (I am talking about layout files that allow to define and operate on regions of flash space). The midterm plan is to make the core of flashrom more library-like, which would ease the creation of a special purpose tool like the one you probably require. Note that midterm in flashrom terms can mean some years since developer time has been rather scarce lately... All of that is pretty much programmer-agnostic because most of the time we specify exactly what is sent to the SPI (or other) bus. -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner --------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Israel (74) Limited This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
