Hi everyone,
Lately I have updated the firmware of my BX100 SSD drive with the boot CD as provided by http://www.crucial.com/support/ssd. As it turned out the boot CD is powered by Linux and the busybox the firmware image being provided under /opt/firmware/MU02/1.bin in /boot/core.gz which is a gzipped cpio file. Would anyone care to analyse this media? I would love to see HDD/SSD firmware flashing being supported by flashrom through some more SATA controllers.

P.S.: if my hint should not have been particularely helpful I would like to know about that as well ...
I recently had a quick look at something related, and noticed that there is a well-defined ATAPI call to flash the firmware. It can be found in the publically available atapi specs.
