[flashrom] [PATCH 0/1] Add support for reading the current flash contents from a file

[Paul Kocialkowski]

Here is an example script that I'm using to read the flash contents to a file
once and update it as I flash newer versions of the software:

#!/bin/sh

flashrom="flashrom"
programmer="ft2232_spi:type=openmoko,divisor=8"

contents="/home/paulk/embedded-freedom/Devices/G505s/kb9012/flashrom/flash-contents.img"
image="$1"

if [ -z $image ]
then
    echo "Reading initial flash contents"

timeb=$( date +%s )
    $flashrom -p $programmer -r $contents
    timea=$( date +%s )

echo "Time: "$(( $timea - $timeb ))" seconds"
else
    echo "Writing new flash contents"

timeb=$( date +%s )
    $flashrom -p $programmer -w $image -C $contents --noverify
    rc=$?
    timea=$( date +%s )

if [ "$rc" -eq "0" ]
    then
    	echo "Copying new flash contents"
    	cp $image $contents
    fi

echo "Time: "$(( $timea - $timeb ))" seconds"
fi
