fwupd can use libflashrom(as of 1.2 that was just released) to update FW.
Ping? Would be nice if we had libflashrom before the next fwdupd release
This seems to do it(and update to 1.2 as well): --- /usr/portage/sys-apps/flashrom/flashrom-1.1.ebuild 2020-01-16 00:20:58.909786791 +0100 +++ flashrom-1.2.ebuild 2020-03-19 03:02:23.634130649 +0100 @@ -41,6 +41,7 @@ +linux-mtd +linux-spi mstarddc-spi + ni845x-spi +nic3com +nicintel +nicintel-eeprom @@ -54,6 +55,7 @@ +satamv +satasii +serprog + stlinkv3-spi +usbblaster-spi " @@ -135,7 +137,7 @@ fi tc-export AR CC PKG_CONFIG RANLIB - emake WARNERROR=no "${args[@]}" + emake WARNERROR=no "${args[@]}" all libflashrom.a } src_test() { @@ -150,6 +152,8 @@ dosbin flashrom doman flashrom.8 dodoc README Documentation/*.txt + dolib.a libflashrom.a + doheader libflashrom.h if use tools ; then if use amd64 ; then
Seems Peter is MIA?
Perhaps Lars wants to maintain it?
I'll make sure this is supported in the ebuild for 1.2. Have you by any chance had an opportunity to see how this should be enabled in their Meson scripts? Although the README continues to suggest using the Makefile, I want to see if we could switch to Meson already and make new ebuilds simpler.

(In reply to Joakim Tjernlund from comment #6) > meson? flashrom is just Makefiles Not any more, now there are both Makefiles and Meson files. Looking at commit history on GitHub, support for Meson got merged into master in December 2018 - and seeing as latest changes are less than four weeks old, it continues to be updated.

Oh, I had not noticed, sorry. On another note, fwupd will soon require jcat: https://github.com/hughsie/libjcat any chance you can take that too?
Looks simple enough, if nobody else takes care of before I have a chance (unfortunately I might have problems with Internet access for the next couple of weeks) I'll give it a shot.
