its a good thing as long as there is a windows version. flashrom looks like a great project, but a majority of people running aroud with laptops use some form of windows.. not linux, or mac osx until there is a new windows version of flashrom SPI flashing should not be removed or disabled from other projects..
[quote author="dvbguy"] looks pretty good.. if you want some base code for programming SPI based chips, there is a project called spipgm2 that is used to reprogram the bios chips on many motherboards.. it contains the parameters for a wide selection of chips.. Do a quick google search.. Its easy to find.. here is a link to the lates source that I know about

You ay have a possble problem with the source.. You have a file binIO and binIO.c.. it looks like binIO (without the c) is an update to the c version bt may not be linked in..
[quote author="mastarg"] Hi! I just got a v2go bus pirate from seeedstudio and installed the new v2.1 firmware. The problem is... It's still not responding to any serial commands!
My serial setup seems to be ok, and it can connect fine to the bootloader in both the windows PIC utility and linux python script running at 9600 baud. Aside from the verification error on the Windows utility, it flashed the hex file over the course of a few minutes.
I tried using cutecom and tera term at 115200, but no luck!
The "mode" led is lit constantly after plugging it in.
Does this mean it's stuck in bootloader mode for some reason (firmware not flashing correctly), or is there something wrong with my setup on the software side? [/quote]
two suggestions make sure you do an erase first.. I didn't do it the firts time and I had some errors outside of the bootloader area, and make sure you press the green play button to do a mode switch
[quote author="Blodgar"] Has anyone on the East coast of the USA seen their Pirate sail into shore? It's been 13 days since I received my shipment notification, and I'm wondering if I'll see mine by 9/19 - Talk Like Pirate Day Does anyone know what vendor to submit the trking # to? (At the risk of sounding hopelessly parochial...) [/quote]
[quote author="BiOzZ"] hi i received my bus pirate and it will not let me update the firmware ... when i open the program to upload i get a "Component MSCOMCTL.OCX or one of its dependencies not currently registered" error inside of windows 7 and windows vista ... please help [/quote]
learn to use google... d/l the files and register.. You will also probably need com32dlg.ocx. Thousands of LINKS..
