BX100: there is a Linux tool to flash ROM images through any SATA adapter

[Elmar Stellnberger]

Hi everyone,

Lately I have updated the firmware of my BX100 SSD drive with the boot 
CD as provided by http://www.crucial.com/support/ssd. As it turned out 
the boot CD is powered by Linux and the busybox the firmware image being 
provided under /opt/firmware/MU02/1.bin in /boot/core.gz which is a 
gzipped cpio file.
  Would anyone care to analyse this media? I would love to see HDD/SSD 
firmware flashing being supported by flashrom through some more SATA 
controllers.

P.S.: if my hint should not have been particularely helpful I would like 
to know about that as well ...
