GSoC 2011: flashrom + filo = ?

 

The answer is flashrom payload, which is capable flashing roms out of usb stick. If you use seabios, you will be able to choose to run this payload instead of booting os. It might be worth for payload developers if we would have a small payload for selecting other payloads out of CBFS 🙂

Patches are here. Sorry for weird stuff there 🙂

 

My GSOC project is not going well, I end up with problems almost everywhere 🙁 (Only the good thing is that my exams went well). I spend my time trying to understand what is going on. Yesterday I was running an overflowing code allmost all day, until I found out what is wrong… My E350M1 is still not working (coreboot doesn’t run with 512 kB chip). So I have ordered some chips from ebay. While I’m waiting I have made some PCB adapters to make a dual flash device. Also made additional PCB for RS232<->UART<->USB interface.

I would better go coding… Bye!
