Thanks for flashrom! It enabled me to fix some problems I was having without buying a copy of Windows. Diagnostics for this board attached.
Say, MSI BIOS updating is a mess. MSI provides a Windows-only tool, the users on their forum have made a bootable-USB builder (Windows-only) which installs a flash tool, and MSI endorses that, but the users say to never use the flash tool that MSI distributes. Worse yet, MSI no longer distributes flash images via their website - they want you to update with their Windows tool (apparently one can e-mail support for a copy of the flash images; I just grabbed a final beta from the forum as I had limited time). The forum-users' tool apparently (from screenshots) can also download the flash images from MSI (with versioning, so one can downgrade).
Anyway, that's quite a bit of background to ask if it anybody has discussed adding vendor-specific handlers/plugins to qflashrom. If that's desirable the logic for MSI could probably be ported over from the Windows tool. The flashrom LiveCD would be tremendously useful for folks in the field with this sort of capability.
