[flashrom] Firmware flashing/dumping for DVD-burners

[Mattias Mattsson]

Hi,

I did some googling and found some tools with functionality that maybe
could be integrated into flashrom.

flasher is a tool to dump/flash LG drives with Renesas chipsets. (GPLv3)
git://flasher.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/flasher/flasher
http://sourceforge.net/projects/flasher/

There is source code (for OS X) to flash firmware on Matshita drives:

At one point there was source available tool to also dump firmware
from Matshita drives. (Unfortunately the link referenced in this forum
post has expired.)

Some other tools for dumping/flashing are listed here, most of them
without source code:
