flashrom: Write a file to the flash.
$ flashrom -p ${programmer} --write ${filename}
try on your machine
The command "flashrom -p ${programmer} --write ${filename}" is used for flashing (writing) firmware or BIOS to a flash memory chip.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "flashrom" is the name of the program or utility being executed.
- "-p ${programmer}" specifies the programmer or hardware interface to be used for communication with the flash memory chip. The variable "${programmer}" should be replaced with the actual programmer name or interface, such as "usbblaster" or "buspirate".
- "--write" indicates that the following argument will be the file to be written or the firmware image file.
- "${filename}" is the variable representing the name of the firmware image file that you want to write to the flash memory chip. You need to replace "${filename}" with the actual file name and location.
Overall, this command tells the flashrom utility to use a specific programmer or hardware interface, and then write (flash) the specified firmware image file to the flash memory chip.
