This option is needed for some mainboards, -see the -.B "flashrom \-\-list\-supported" -output for a list. The vendor is not required when the board name is unique. -.TP -.B "\-f, \-\-force" -Force write without checking whether the ROM image file is really meant -to be used on this board. -.sp -Note: This check only works while coreboot is running, and only for those -boards where the coreboot code supports it. -.TP -.B "\-l, \-\-layout <file>" -Read ROM layout from -.BR <file> . -.TP -.B "\-i, \-\-image <name>" -Only flash image -.B <name> -from flash layout. -.TP -.B "\-L, \-\-list\-supported" -List the ROM chips, chipsets, and mainboards supported by flashrom. -The list of mainboards consists of those boards which need a special -ROM write-enable function for flashrom to work. -.sp -There are many other boards which will work out of the box, without such -special support in flashrom. Some of the known-good/known-bad and tested ones -are listed at -.BR http://coreboot.org/Flashrom#Supported_mainboards , -but the list is not exhaustive, of course. -.sp -Please let us know if you can verify other boards to work or not work out -of the box. -.TP -.B "\-h, \-\-help" -Show a help text and exit. -.TP -.B "\-R, \-\-version" -Show version information and exit. -.SH EXIT STATUS -flashrom exits with 0 on success, 1 on most failures but with 2 if /dev/mem -(/dev/xsvc on Solaris) can not be opened and with 3 if a call to mmap() fails. -.SH BUGS -Please report any bugs at -.BR http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/newticket "," -or on the coreboot mailing list -.RB "(" http://coreboot.org/Mailinglist ")." -.SH LICENCE -.B flashrom -is covered by the GNU General Public License (GPL), version 2.
