Hi!
I've just recommented your utility to someone on a forum, and I noticed a small change on your Raspberry Pi page:
The paragraph about compiling on RPi is gone.
Compiling flashrom
If you want to compile it from the sources, use the following line:
make CONFIG_INTERNAL=no CONFIG_RAYER_SPI=no CONFIG_NIC3COM=no CONFIG_GFXNVIDIA=no CONFIG_SATASII=no \ CONFIG_ATAHPT=no CONFIG_DRKAISER=no CONFIG_NICREALTEK=no CONFIG_NICNATSEMI=no \ CONFIG_NICINTEL=no CONFIG_NICINTEL_SPI=no CONFIG_OGP_SPI=no CONFIG_SATAMV=no
Is this no longer required in the newer versions? Thank you!
Hello Vasile,
it was actually never required. RaspberryPi support is provided by the generic Linux SPI driver and that was always compiled in since it was added to the repository (IIRC). The author of the wiki page likes to "overdocument" things (which is still much better than not documenting things at all :)
With earlier versions compiling linux_spi support only would spare the user from specifying the --programmer argument. This is no longer true - everyone has to give that argument on default, even if only a single programmer is compiled in. I hope that clarifies the removal of the compilation instructions.
