I'd be very pleased if someone could help me build a programmer for it. I can't make schematics, but I can solder.
At the end of the day, my board needs to be usable.
Suggest that you buy/make a USB->SPI bridge. FTDI modules can do this. They can then be programmed from Linux or Windows.
See thread at http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2008-December/043511.html
When someone has/makes their own programmer we will support it in flashrom through a simple plugin scheme yet TBD. But it will be fleshed out quickly because it is very simple.
Actually, the first half of plugin support in flashrom has already been merged. SPI is already completely plugin-ready. A plugin for an external flasher simply registers as SPI chipset driver. No further changes needed. LPC/FWH/Parallel is mostly done. The mmap operations need to be abstracted out, the driver for the external flasher has to register its own version of chip_readb/chip_writeb and you're done except for cosmetic changes.
