Dear flashrom folks,


listening to Carl-Daniel’s interview with RadioTux at LinuxTag [1] he
mentions that flashrom also supports some DVD drives.

Does flashrom support the DVD burner LG GSA-4167B? Searching the WWW I
found a forum post [2] but contacting the author [3] was unsuccessful. 

Here is an excerpt from my message to the author.

I want to flash my drive LG GSA-4167B currently running firmware version
DL12 to DL13 [4][5].

        $ dmesg

        [    1.588392] ata4.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4167B, DL12, max UDMA/33
        [    1.605261] ata4.00: configured for UDMA/33
        [    1.614030] scsi 3:0:0:0: CD-ROM            HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4167B DL12 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5

It would be great if you could help me and provide me with the utility.

What license do you use for your flasher? I guess the flashrom project
[6] would be very much interested in your program.


Thanks,

Paul
