[RFC] usb flashing protocol (was: cheapish and free usb spi flashing device)

[Stefan Tauner]

hey!

peter and i have started to discuss and lay out the details of a native
usb flashing protocol. the WIP document can be found at
http://titanpad.com/x8M9ZvNeMN

we need to design abstract representations of a few things like erase
blocks, instruction sequences for various operations etc. some of which
are (probably) already implemented in flashrom in one form or another
while others might be useful to have in there and have been discussed
or at least thought through already by someone. so feel free to
contribute please. ;)
