Flashrom supports many different programmers, including PC mainboards, various PCI cards with soldered-on flash chips, and various USB/serial-port/parallel-port based programmers.

Programmer Status Comments
internal
supported
Flashrom supports a large number of mainboards, other mainboards may be supported out-of-the-box too, or might require a little additional code in flashrom.
dummy
supported
The "dummy" programmer is a software-only implementation of a simple programmer which is mostly useful for flashrom development and testing.
nic3com
supported
Flashrom supports some 3Com network cards to reflash the (parallel) flash attached to these cards, but it is also possible to use these cards to reflash other chips which fit in there electrically. Please note that the small number of address lines connected to the chip may make accessing large chips impossible. The maximum supported chip size if 128KB.

satasii
supported
Flashrom supports some SiI ATA/SATA controllers to reflash the flash attached to these controller cards, but it is also possible to use these cards to reflash other chips which fit in there electrically. Please note that the small number of address lines connected to the chip may make accessing large chips impossible.
ft2232_spi
supported
Flashrom supports the usage of various FTDI FT2232/FT4232H-based devices as SPI flashers:
ft2232_spi

FTDI FT2232H Mini-Module
ft2232_spi

supported
FTDI FT4232H Mini-Module
ft2232_spi

supported
openbiosprog-spi is an Open Hardware USB-based programmer for SPI chips, designed by Uwe Hermann. It uses an FTDI FT2232H chip and features either a DIP-8 socket or a pinheader where jumper-wires can be attached.
