[flashrom] hello gents, question here

[Ian Clark]

All gents

Thanks again for helping so much. If my chipset is flashable, then
does this two step process work?

Read the BIOS image into a file:

  $ flashrom -r backup.bin

Write a BIOS image (proprietary or LinuxBIOS) on the ROM chip:

  $ flashrom -wv newbios.bin


thanks!
