Author: hailfinger Date: 2009-08-19 17:03:28 +0200 (Wed, 19 Aug 2009) New Revision: 693
Modified: trunk/flashrom.8 trunk/flashrom.c Log: Current programmer parameter syntax is -p programmer=parameter Unfortunately, many parameters are of the form variable=val, so we get commandlines like this: flashrom -p it87spi=port=0x820 and this looks horrible.
Using : instead of = would make such parameters look better: flashrom -p it87spi:port=0x820
As a side benefit, this patch mentions the programmer name in the error message if it is unknown.
