Hello Everyone,
I am planning to submit Flashrom’s GSoC application within the next few
days.
Here are the most important resources that we have prepared for application:
Projects Ideas
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AxMobB2v8Dv2uUwZPZ_vCmmONYDJuliHcnjfWOs…
Project Proposal Template
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DSg1FykuI7Z3JDY1Qtk8C6JjvpsYISMEwyV4932…
Contributors Info and Guidelines
https://www.flashrom.org/GSoC
All these are resources for potential contributors, so that’s public and
links can be shared with anyone interested.
Application asks for *links* to resources, so we can modify/improve the
content at any point, even after the app is submitted. We do want the
resources to look nice when applying, of course :) but we can do
modifications even later.
Let me know if you have feedback/suggestions, thank you!

sudo flashrom --force --programmer ch341a_spi -w gb56c
flashrom v1.2 on Linux 5.11.0-7633-generic (x86_64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org
Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).
Found GigaDevice flash chip "GD25Q40(B)" (512 kB, SPI) on ch341a_spi.
===
This flash part has status UNTESTED for operations: PROBE READ ERASE WRITE
The test status of this chip may have been updated in the latest development
version of flashrom. If you are running the latest development version,
please email a report to flashrom(a)flashrom.org if any of the above
operations
work correctly for you with this flash chip. Please include the flashrom log
file for all operations you tested (see the man page for details), and
mention
which mainboard or programmer you tested in the subject line.
Thanks for your help!
Reading old flash chip contents... done.
Erasing and writing flash chip... Erase/write done.
Verifying flash... VERIFIED.
Have used your tool to rescue many things with my handy ch341a
Thank you for your work.
Hi,
I'm a student from China and I've been learning flashrom,So I would like to know whether the flashrom can support extracting BIOS firmware images under Windows 7/10.
If I don't have the Internet(Just LAN),how do I remotely obtain a BIOS image from another computer use flashrom?
Maybe my English not very well. Thank you very much.
Looking forward to your reply.
1) Try the shorter cables between a test clip and a programmer. See my
notes here at
http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Flashing_a_BIOS_chip_with_Bus_Pirate#St…
2) Make sure that your ch341a programmer is good enough. I had to
repair a couple of dead-on-arrival ch341a:
