+============
+Dummyflasher
+============
+
+Dummyflasher programmer is software-only implementation of a flashrom programmer. In other words,
+it is an emulator which operates on in-memory arrays of bytes instead of a real chip. Dummyflasher does not interact with any hardware.
+
+This programmer is actively used in unit tests.
+
+Also, since dummyflasher implements all of the programmers APIs, it can be used as an example or as a starting point for implementing a new programmer.
