Hi Michael, Last time I set up environment to build flashrom, I installed all these in order:
pciutils libpci-dev libusb-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libjaylink0 libjaylink-dev cmake libftdi1-dev I haven’t flashed anything with ft2232_spi (however this programmer builds), maybe not entirely relevant to you? But this is sufficient to have the choice of ft2232_spi, as I can see: -p | --programmer <name>[:<param>] specify the programmer device. One of internal, dummy, mec1308, nic3com, nicrealtek, nicnatsemi, gfxnvidia, raiden_debug_spi, drkaiser, satasii, atahpt, atavia, atapromise, it8212, ft2232_spi, serprog, buspirate_spi, dediprog, developerbox, ene_lpc, rayer_spi, pony_spi, nicintel, nicintel_spi, nicintel_eeprom, ogp_spi, satamv, linux_mtd, linux_spi, lspcon_i2c_spi, realtek_mst_i2c_spi, usbblaster_spi, mstarddc_spi, pickit2_spi, ch341a_spi, digilent_spi, jlink_spi, stlinkv3_spi. Manually editing dependency in control file, wow this is so cool! I wouldn’t be able to do such a thing by myself. So I was looking for a sequence of packages that works. Anastasia.
