Luckily, it seems that the popular ch341a programmer is still supported ;-) I just got flashrom-v1.3.0.tar.bz2 , saw that it still has ch341a_spi.c, and when built and launched with --help - it tells that "ch341a_spi" is one of the supported programmers [1]. Maybe I haven't tested v1.3.0 in practice yet - but it should work.
Another great thing is that ENE KB9012 flashing (original patches by Paul Kocialkowski, I only helped to merge it 5 years ago) - is still supported! ;-) It is the only opensource way of flashing the EC KB9012 (i.e. found in a coreboot-supported AMD no-PSP G505S laptop which is a libreboot candidate), and the only way of flashing KB9012 without getting the expensive special programmer tools: thanks to flashrom and Paul's original work, this could be done even with the above mentioned ch341a which costs like $2

Hello I was wondering if support dropped for the ch341a on flashrom version 1.3 ? _______________________________________________ flashrom mailing list -- flashrom@flashrom.org To unsubscribe send an email to flashrom-leave@flashrom.org
