Hi List,
this patch adds support for the Linux SPI subsystem. See http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/spi/spidev for a short introduction.
Usage is as follows:
flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidevX.Y
where X is the bus number, and Y device. It accepts an optional parameter 'speed' which allows to set the SPI CLK speed in KHz.
I'm using a AVR32 Board (http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=4102) to program my ThinkPad X60, but it should work on every Linux system.
