Do you have any idea why our flashrom v0.9.9 won't accept ft2232_spi as a programmer?
flashrom's build process is quite flexible. It's very likely that this Ubuntu package was simply build without FTDI support.
Surprisingly, even the man page claims that ft2232_spi is supported:
Alas, the manpage is not automatically adapted to the build options.
You can build flashrom from source, here are some hints[1]. Basically, after installing the mentioned prerequisites, you download the flashrom source
$ git clone https://review.coreboot.org/flashrom.git
and build it with
$ cd flashrom $ make
If you want to install it, also
$ sudo make install
If you don't install it, you'll have to always specify the path to the program, e.g.
$ ./flashrom -p ...
or
$ ~/flashrom/flashrom -p ...
Hope that helps, Nico
