NAME
flashrom - detect, read, write, verify and erase flash chips
SYNOPSIS
flashrom [-h|-R|-L|-z|-p <programmername>[:<parameters>]
[-E|-r <file>|-w <file>|-v <file>] [-c <chipname>]
[-l <file> [-i <image>]] [-n] [-f]]
[-V[V[V]]] [-o <logfile>]
DESCRIPTION
flashrom is a utility for detecting, reading, writing, verifying and erasing flash chips. It's often used
to flash BIOS/EFI/coreboot/firmware images in-system using a supported mainboard. However, it also
supports various external PCI/USB/parallel-port/serial-port based devices which can program flash chips,
including some network cards (NICs), SATA/IDE controller cards, graphics cards, the Bus Pirate device,
various FTDI FT2232/FT4232H based USB devices, and more.
It supports a wide range of DIP32, PLCC32, DIP8, SO8/SOIC8, TSOP32, TSOP40, TSOP48, and BGA chips, which
use various protocols such as LPC, FWH, parallel flash, or SPI.
OPTIONS
IMPORTANT: Please note that the command line interface for flashrom will change before flashrom 1.0. Do
not use flashrom in scripts or other automated tools without checking that your flashrom version won't
interpret options in a different way.
You can specify one of -h, -R, -L, -z, -E, -r, -w, -v or no operation. If no operation is specified,
flashrom will only probe for flash chips. It is recommended that if you try flashrom the first time on a
system, you run it in probe-only mode and check the output. Also you are advised to make a backup of your
current ROM contents with -r before you try to write a new image.
-r, --read <file>
Read flash ROM contents and save them into the given <file>. If the file already exists, it will
be overwritten.
-w, --write <file>
Write <file> into flash ROM. This will first automatically erase the chip, then write to it.
In the process the chip is also read several times. First an in-memory backup is made for disaster
recovery and to be able to skip regions that are already equal to the image file. This copy is
updated along with the write operation. In case of erase errors it is even re-read completely.
After writing has finished and if verification is enabled, the whole flash chip is read out and
compared with the input image.
-n, --noverify
Skip the automatic verification of flash ROM contents after writing. Using this option is not
recommended, you should only use it if you know what you are doing and if you feel that the time
for verification takes too long.
Typical usage is: flashrom -p prog -n -w <file>
This option is only useful in combination with --write.
-v, --verify <file>
Verify the flash ROM contents against the given <file>.
-E, --erase
Erase the flash ROM chip.
-V, --verbose
More verbose output. This option can be supplied multiple times (max. 3 times, i.e. -VVV) for
even more debug output.
-c, --chip <chipname>
Probe only for the specified flash ROM chip. This option takes the chip name as printed by
flashrom -L without the vendor name as parameter. Please note that the chip name is case
sensitive.
-f, --force
Force one or more of the following actions:
* Force chip read and pretend the chip is there.
* Force chip access even if the chip is bigger than the maximum supported size for the flash bus.
* Force erase even if erase is known bad.
* Force write even if write is known bad.
-l, --layout <file>
Read ROM layout from <file>.
flashrom supports ROM layouts. This allows you to flash certain parts of the flash chip only. A
ROM layout file contains multiple lines with the following syntax:
startaddr:endaddr imagename
startaddr and endaddr are hexadecimal addresses within the ROM file and do not refer to any
physical address. Please note that using a 0x prefix for those hexadecimal numbers is not
necessary, but you can't specify decimal/octal numbers. imagename is an arbitrary name for the
region/image from startaddr to endaddr (both addresses included).
Example:
00000000:00008fff gfxrom
00009000:0003ffff normal
00040000:0007ffff fallback
If you only want to update the image named normal in a ROM based on the layout above, run
flashrom -p prog --layout rom.layout --image normal -w some.rom
To update only the images named normal and fallback, run:
flashrom -p prog -l rom.layout -i normal -i fallback -w some.rom
Overlapping sections are not supported.
-i, --image <imagename>
Only flash region/image <imagename> from flash layout.
-L, --list-supported
List the flash chips, chipsets, mainboards, and external programmers (including PCI, USB, parallel
port, and serial port based devices) supported by flashrom.
There are many unlisted boards which will work out of the box, without special support in
flashrom. Please let us know if you can verify that other boards work or do not work out of the
box.
IMPORTANT: For verification you have to test an ERASE and/or WRITE operation, so make sure you
only do that if you have proper means to recover from failure!
-z, --list-supported-wiki
Same as --list-supported, but outputs the supported hardware in MediaWiki syntax, so that it can
be easily pasted into the wiki page at http://www.flashrom.org/. Please note that MediaWiki
output is not compiled in by default.
-p, --programmer <name>[:parameter[,parameter[,parameter]]]

Some programmers have optional or mandatory parameters which are described in detail in the
PROGRAMMER SPECIFIC INFO section. Support for some programmers can be disabled at compile time.
flashrom -h lists all supported programmers.
-h, --help
Show a help text and exit.
-o, --output <logfile>
Save the full debug log to <logfile>. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten. This is
the recommended way to gather logs from flashrom because they will be verbose even if the on-
screen messages are not verbose.
-R, --version
Show version information and exit.
PROGRAMMER SPECIFIC INFO
Some programmer drivers accept further parameters to set programmer-specific parameters. These parameters
are separated from the programmer name by a colon. While some programmers take arguments at fixed
positions, other programmers use a key/value interface in which the key and value is separated by an
equal sign and different pairs are separated by a comma or a colon.
internal programmer
Board Enables
Some mainboards require to run mainboard specific code to enable flash erase and write support
(and probe support on old systems with parallel flash). The mainboard brand and model (if it
requires specific code) is usually autodetected using one of the following mechanisms: If your
system is running coreboot, the mainboard type is determined from the coreboot table. Otherwise,
the mainboard is detected by examining the onboard PCI devices and possibly DMI info. If PCI and
DMI do not contain information to uniquely identify the mainboard (which is the exception), or if
you want to override the detected mainboard model, you can specify the mainboard using the
flashrom -p internal:mainboard=[<vendor>:]<board> syntax.
See the 'Known boards' or 'Known laptops' section in the output of 'flashrom -L' for a list of
boards which require the specification of the board name, if no coreboot table is found.
Some of these board-specific flash enabling functions (called board enables) in flashrom have not
yet been tested. If your mainboard is detected needing an untested board enable function, a
warning message is printed and the board enable is not executed, because a wrong board enable
function might cause the system to behave erratically, as board enable functions touch the low-
level internals of a mainboard. Not executing a board enable function (if one is needed) might
cause detection or erasing failure. If your board protects only part of the flash (commonly the
top end, called boot block), flashrom might encounter an error only after erasing the unprotected
part, so running without the board-enable function might be dangerous for erase and write (which
includes erase).
The suggested procedure for a mainboard with untested board specific code is to first try to probe
the ROM (just invoke flashrom and check that it detects your flash chip type) without running the
board enable code (i.e. without any parameters). If it finds your chip, fine. Otherwise, retry
probing your chip with the board-enable code running, using
flashrom -p internal:boardenable=force
If your chip is still not detected, the board enable code seems to be broken or the flash chip
unsupported. Otherwise, make a backup of your current ROM contents (using -r) and store it to a
medium outside of your computer, like a USB drive or a network share. If you needed to run the
board enable code already for probing, use it for reading too. Now you can try to write the new
image. You should enable the board enable code in any case now, as it has been written because it
is known that writing/erasing without the board enable is going to fail. In any case (success or
failure), please report to the flashrom mailing list, see below.
Coreboot
On systems running coreboot, flashrom checks whether the desired image matches your mainboard.
This needs some special board ID to be present in the image. If flashrom detects that the image
you want to write and the current board do not match, it will refuse to write the image unless you
specify
flashrom -p internal:boardmismatch=force
ITE IT87 Super I/O
If your mainboard uses an ITE IT87 series Super I/O for LPC<->SPI flash bus translation, flashrom
should autodetect that configuration. If you want to set the I/O base port of the IT87 series SPI
controller manually instead of using the value provided by the BIOS, use the
flashrom -p internal:it87spiport=portnum
syntax where portnum is the I/O port number (must be a multiple of 8). In the unlikely case
flashrom doesn't detect an active IT87 LPC<->SPI bridge, please send a bug report so we can
diagnose the problem.
Intel chipsets
If you have an Intel chipset with an ICH8 or later southbridge with SPI flash attached, and if a
valid descriptor was written to it (e.g. by the vendor), the chipset provides an alternative way
to access the flash chip(s) named Hardware Sequencing. It is much simpler than the normal access
method (called Software Sequencing), but does not allow the software to choose the SPI commands to
be sent. You can use the
flashrom -p internal:ich_spi_mode=value
syntax where value can be auto, swseq or hwseq. By default (or when setting ich_spi_mode=auto)
the module tries to use swseq and only activates hwseq if need be (e.g. if important opcodes are
inaccessible due to lockdown; or if more than one flash chip is attached). The other options
(swseq, hwseq) select the respective mode (if possible).
ICH8 and later southbridges may also have locked address ranges of different kinds if a valid
descriptor was written to it. The flash address space is then partitioned in multiple so called
"Flash Regions" containing the host firmware, the ME firmware and so on respectively. The flash
descriptor can also specify up to 5 so called "Protected Regions", which are freely chosen address
ranges independent from the aforementioned "Flash Regions". All of them can be write and/or read
protected individually. If flashrom detects such a lock it will disable write support unless the
user forces it with the
flashrom -p internal:ich_spi_force=yes
syntax. If this leads to erase or write accesses to the flash it would most probably bring it into
an inconsistent and unbootable state and we will not provide any support in such a case.
If you have an Intel chipset with an ICH6 or later southbridge and if you want to set specific
IDSEL values for a non-default flash chip or an embedded controller (EC), you can use the
flashrom -p internal:fwh_idsel=value
syntax where value is the 48-bit hexadecimal raw value to be written in the IDSEL registers of the
Intel southbridge. The upper 32 bits use one hex digit each per 512 kB range between 0xffc00000
and 0xffffffff, and the lower 16 bits use one hex digit each per 1024 kB range between 0xff400000
and 0xff7fffff. The rightmost hex digit corresponds with the lowest address range. All address
ranges have a corresponding sister range 4 MB below with identical IDSEL settings. The default
value for ICH7 is given in the example below.
Example: flashrom -p internal:fwh_idsel=0x001122334567
Laptops
Using flashrom on laptops is dangerous and may easily make your hardware unusable (see also the
BUGS section). The embedded controller (EC) in these machines often interacts badly with flashing.
http://www.flashrom.org/Laptops has more information. For example the EC firmware sometimes
resides on the same flash chip as the host firmware. While flashrom tries to change the contents
of that memory the EC might need to fetch new instructions or data from it and could stop working
correctly. Probing for and reading from the chip may also irritate your EC and cause fan failure,
backlight failure, sudden poweroff, and other nasty effects. flashrom will attempt to detect if it
is running on a laptop and abort immediately for safety reasons if it clearly identifies the host
computer as one. If you want to proceed anyway at your own risk, use
flashrom -p internal:laptop=force_I_want_a_brick
We will not help you if you force flashing on a laptop because this is a really dumb idea.
You have been warned.
Currently we rely on the chassis type encoded in the DMI/SMBIOS data to detect laptops. Some
vendors did not implement those bits correctly or set them to generic and/or dummy values.
flashrom will then issue a warning and bail out like above. In this case you can use
flashrom -p internal:laptop=this_is_not_a_laptop
to tell flashrom (at your own risk) that it does not running on a laptop.
dummy programmer
The dummy programmer operates on a buffer in memory only. It provides a safe and fast way to test various
aspects of flashrom and is mainly used in development and while debugging.
It is able to emulate some chips to a certain degree (basic identify/read/erase/write operations work).
An optional parameter specifies the bus types it should support. For that you have to use the
flashrom -p dummy:bus=[type[+type[+type]]]
syntax where type can be parallel, lpc, fwh, spi in any order. If you specify bus without type, all buses
will be disabled. If you do not specify bus, all buses will be enabled.
Example: flashrom -p dummy:bus=lpc+fwh
The dummy programmer supports flash chip emulation for automated self-tests without hardware access. If
you want to emulate a flash chip, use the
flashrom -p dummy:emulate=chip
syntax where chip is one of the following chips (please specify only the chip name, not the vendor):
* ST M25P10.RES SPI flash chip (RES, page write)
* SST SST25VF040.REMS SPI flash chip (REMS, byte write)
* SST SST25VF032B SPI flash chip (RDID, AAI write)
* Macronix MX25L6436 SPI flash chip (RDID, SFDP)
Example: flashrom -p dummy:emulate=SST25VF040.REMS
Persistent images
If you use flash chip emulation, flash image persistence is available as well by using the
flashrom -p dummy:emulate=chip,image=image.rom
syntax where image.rom is the file where the simulated chip contents are read on flashrom startup
and where the chip contents on flashrom shutdown are written to.
Example: flashrom -p dummy:emulate=M25P10.RES,image=dummy.bin
SPI write chunk size
If you use SPI flash chip emulation for a chip which supports SPI page write with the default
opcode, you can set the maximum allowed write chunk size with the
flashrom -p dummy:emulate=chip,spi_write_256_chunksize=size
syntax where size is the number of bytes (min. 1, max. 256).
Example:
flashrom -p dummy:emulate=M25P10.RES,spi_write_256_chunksize=5
SPI blacklist
To simulate a programmer which refuses to send certain SPI commands to the flash chip, you can
specify a blacklist of SPI commands with the
flashrom -p dummy:spi_blacklist=commandlist
syntax where commandlist is a list of two-digit hexadecimal representations of SPI commands. If
commandlist is e.g. 0302, flashrom will behave as if the SPI controller refuses to run command
0x03 (READ) and command 0x02 (WRITE). commandlist may be up to 512 characters (256 commands)
long. Implementation note: flashrom will detect an error during command execution.
SPI ignorelist
To simulate a flash chip which ignores (doesn't support) certain SPI commands, you can specify an
ignorelist of SPI commands with the
flashrom -p dummy:spi_ignorelist=commandlist
syntax where commandlist is a list of two-digit hexadecimal representations of SPI commands. If
commandlist is e.g. 0302, the emulated flash chip will ignore command 0x03 (READ) and command 0x02
(WRITE). commandlist may be up to 512 characters (256 commands) long. Implementation note:
flashrom won't detect an error during command execution.
SPI status register
You can specify the initial content of the chip's status register with the
flashrom -p dummy:spi_status=content
syntax where content is an 8-bit hexadecimal value.
nic3com, nicrealtek, nicsmc1211, nicnatsemi, nicintel, nicintel_spi, gfxnvidia, ogp_spi, drkaiser, satasii,
satamv, and atahpt programmers
These programmers have an option to specify the PCI address of the card your want to use, which must be
specified if more than one card supported by the selected programmer is installed in your system. The
syntax is
flashrom -p xxxx:pci=bb:dd.f,
where xxxx is the name of the programmer bb is the PCI bus number, dd is the PCI device number, and f is
the PCI function number of the desired device.
Example: flashrom -p nic3com:pci=05:04.0
ft2232_spi programmer
An optional parameter specifies the controller type and interface/port it should support. For that you
have to use the
flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type=model,port=interface
syntax where model can be 2232H, 4232H, jtagkey, busblaster, openmoko, arm-usb-tiny, arm-usb-tiny-h, arm-
usb-ocd, arm-usb-ocd-h, tumpa, or picotap and interface can be A, or B. The default model is 4232H and
the default interface is B.
All models supported by the ft2232_spi driver can configure the SPI clock rate by setting a divisor. The
expressible divisors are all even numbers between 2 and 2^17 (=131072) resulting in SPI clock frequencies
of 6 MHz down to about 92 Hz for 12 MHz inputs. The default divisor is set to 2, but you can use another
one by specifying the optional divisor parameter with the
flashrom -p ft2232_spi:divisor=div
syntax.
serprog programmer
A mandatory parameter specifies either a serial device/baud combination or an IP/port combination for
communication with the programmer. In the device/baud combination, the device has to start with a slash.
For serial, you have to use the
flashrom -p serprog:dev=/dev/device:baud
syntax and for IP, you have to use
flashrom -p serprog:ip=ipaddr:port
instead. More information about serprog is available in serprog-protocol.txt in the source distribution.
buspirate_spi programmer
A required dev parameter specifies the Bus Pirate device node and an optional spispeed parameter
specifies the frequency of the SPI bus. The parameter delimiter is a comma. Syntax is
flashrom -p buspirate_spi:dev=/dev/device,spispeed=frequency
where frequency can be 30k, 125k, 250k, 1M, 2M, 2.6M, 4M or 8M (in Hz). The default is the maximum
frequency of 8 MHz.
dediprog programmer
An optional voltage parameter specifies the voltage the Dediprog should use. The default unit is Volt if
no unit is specified. You can use mV, milliVolt, V or Volt as unit specifier. Syntax is
flashrom -p dediprog:voltage=value
where value can be 0V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.5V or the equivalent in mV.
rayer_spi programmer
The default I/O base address used for the parallel port is 0x378 and you can use the optional iobase
parameter to specify an alternate base I/O address with the
flashrom -p rayer_spi:iobase=baseaddr
syntax where baseaddr is base I/O port address of the parallel port, which must be a multiple of four.
Make sure to not forget the "0x" prefix for hexadecimal port addresses.
The default cable type is the RayeR cable. You can use the optional type parameter to specify the cable
type with the
flashrom -p rayer_spi:type=model
syntax where model can be rayer for the RayeR cable or xilinx for the Xilinx Parallel Cable III (DLC 5).
More information about the RayeR hardware is available at http://rayer.ic.cz/elektro/spipgm.htm . The
schematic of the Xilinx DLC 5 was published at
http://www.xilinx.com/itp/xilinx4/data/docs/pac/appendixb.html .
pony_spi programmer
The serial port (like /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyUSB0 on Linux or COM3 on windows) is specified using the
mandatory dev parameter. The adapter type is selectable between SI-Prog (used for SPI devices with
PonyProg 2000) or a custom made serial bitbanging programmer named "serbang". The optional type parameter
accepts the values "si_prog" (default) or "serbang".
Information about the SI-Prog adapter can be found at http://www.lancos.com/siprogsch.html .
An example call to flashrom is
flashrom -p pony_spi:dev=/dev/ttyS0,type=serbang
Please note that while USB-to-serial adapters work under certain circumstances, this slows down operation
considerably.
ogp_spi programmer
The flash ROM chip to access must be specified with the rom parameter.
flashrom -p ogp_spi:rom=name
Where name is either cprom or s3 for the configuration ROM and bprom or bios for the BIOS ROM. If more
than one card supported by the ogp_spi programmer is installed in your system, you have to specify the
PCI address of the card you want to use with the pci= parameter as explained in the nic3com section
above.
More information about the hardware is available at http://wiki.opengraphics.org.
linux_spi programmer
You have to specify the SPI controller to use with the
flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidevX.Y
syntax where /dev/spidevX.Y is the Linux device node for your SPI controller.
Please note that the linux_spi driver only works on Linux.
EXAMPLES
To back up and update your BIOS, run
flashrom -p internal -r backup.rom -o backuplog.txt
flashrom -p internal -w newbios.rom -o writelog.txt
Please make sure to copy backup.rom to some external media before you try to write. That makes offline
recovery easier.
If writing fails and flashrom complains about the chip being in an unknown state, you can try to restore
the backup by running
flashrom -p internal -w backup.rom -o restorelog.txt
If you encounter any problems, please contact us and supply backuplog.txt, writelog.txt and
restorelog.txt. See section BUGS for contact info.
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.
REQUIREMENTS
flashrom needs different access permissions for different programmers.
internal needs raw memory access, PCI configuration space access, raw I/O port access (x86) and MSR
access (x86).
nic3com, nicrealtek, nicsmc1211 and nicnatsemi need PCI configuration space read access and raw I/O port
access.
atahpt needs PCI configuration space access and raw I/O port access.
gfxnvidia and drkaiser need PCI configuration space access and raw memory access.
rayer_spi needs raw I/O port access.
satasii needs PCI configuration space read access and raw memory access.
satamv needs PCI configuration space read access, raw I/O port access and raw memory access.
serprog needs TCP access to the network or userspace access to a serial port.
buspirate_spi needs userspace access to a serial port.
dediprog and ft2232_spi need access to the USB device via libusb.
dummy needs no access permissions at all.
internal, nic3com, nicrealtek, nicsmc1211, nicnatsemi, gfxnvidia, drkaiser, satasii, satamv and atahpt
have to be run as superuser/root, and need additional raw access permission.
serprog, buspirate_spi, dediprog and ft2232_spi can be run as normal user on most operating systems if
appropriate device permissions are set.
ogp needs PCI configuration space read access and raw memory access.
On OpenBSD, you can obtain raw access permission by setting securelevel=-1 in /etc/rc.securelevel and
rebooting, or rebooting into single user mode.
BUGS
Please report any bugs to the flashrom mailing list at <flashrom@flashrom.org>
We recommend to subscribe first at
http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom
Many of the developers communicate via the #flashrom IRC channel on chat.freenode.net. You are welcome
to join and ask questions, send us bug and success reports there too. Please provide a way to contact you
later (e.g. a mail address) and be patient if there is no immediate reaction. Also, we provide a pastebin
service at http://paste.flashrom.org that is very useful when you want to share logs etc. without
spamming the channel.
Laptops
Using flashrom on laptops is dangerous and may easily make your hardware unusable. flashrom will attempt
to detect if it is running on a laptop and abort immediately for safety reasons. Please see the detailed
discussion of this topic and associated flashrom options in the Laptops paragraph in the internal
programmer subsection of the PROGRAMMER SPECIFIC INFO section. http://www.flashrom.org/Laptops
One-time programmable (OTP) memory and unique IDs
Some flash chips contain OTP memory often denoted as "security registers". They usually have a capacity
in the range of some bytes to a few hundred bytes and can be used to give devices unique IDs etc.
flashrom is not able to read or write these memories and may therefore not be able to duplicate a chip
completely. For chip types known to include OTP memories a warning is printed when they are detected.
Similar to OTP memories are unique, factory programmed, unforgeable IDs. They are not modifiable by the
user at all.
