Hi flashrom designers,
From the handle_romentries() function, I know the current design for
"--layout" and "--image" is to read the unwanted sections from the flashchip to a buffer and then write the whole buffer back to the flashchip. For some reasons, I don't want to touch the unwanted sections in the flashchip. Can flashrom just skip them? My platform is "Intel ICH10R" and "Atmel AT25DF321".
Thank you. Water

Partial flashing is not yet possible in flashrom because some generic infrastructure is missing, but once flashrom 0.9.2 is out, we will add this feature. Some code already exists, but it has to be reviewed and tested and merged, and it depends on a refactoring of our write functions, and that will happen directly after 0.9.2 is out (maybe even this week).
