Hi,
I don't know whether this proposal really makes sense but 8051 based Embedded Controlers are very likely to have 0x02 (the opcode for LJMP) at address 0x0000 and at some of its IRQ entry points at address 0x0003 + n*8
It might be worth warning about because erasing/writing the flash while the EC is running might not be a good idea.
This posting was triggered by todays publication of: "Flash Programming for Dummies", A book by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger which specifically mentions interactions with embedded controlers.
And a grep for "Embedded" "Controler" "EC" within the flashrom sources did not reveal a warning message.
Greetings, Frieder
