32 kB chip compatibility

[Sebastian S. Slowalk]

Hi, just wanted to know why flashrom isn't compatible for 32 kB chips, 
(i.e. 27c256 ones). I'm working with car ECU's eproms and would thank 
that. Thanks anyway,

Sebastian

Hi!

It's quite easy actually: because *flash*rom is concerned about flash
chips (25, 29, 39, 45, 49 series) and not about EEPROMs like the 27C256.
In general it would be possible to add support for other devices, but
no one has written the code (yet)...

I see...

Flashrom is a cute utility, I just wanted to extend its use to my 
work... even with me being the solely man doing it!
