I've no code in flashrom yet, but I made a flashrom compatible arduino programmer and participated in testing and documentation.

Wiki contributions

My contributions to this wiki are available under the following licenses:

CC-BY-SA 3.0
CC-BY-SA 4.0 or later
GFDL 1.3 or later

My interests

Easily available external flashers.
BIOS->Coreboot flashing on the Libreboot compatible laptops.
NIC flashing (to flash ipxe)
GPU flashing (to flash sgabios)

My hardware

Mainboard based programmers

Device or programmer	Flash chip	Test result
Asrock E350M1	A25L032	Works from coreboot Untested from the BIOS
Asus F2A85M-PRO
Asus M4A785T-M	W25x80 (DIP8)	Works with the BIOS Works with coreboot
Lenovo Thinkpad T400
Lenovo Thinkpad T60	MX25L1605D/MX25L1608D	Works with coreboot
Lenovo Thinkpad X200
Lenovo Thinkpad X200 Tablet
Lenovo Thinkpad X60	SST25VF016B	Works with coreboot.
Lenovo Thinkpad X60T	MX25L1605D/MX25L1608D	Works with coreboot
~~PC Engines Alix.1c~~		Works with coreboot Works with the recovery LPC dongle
PC Engines APU1D4

External programmers

Device or programmer	Flashrom driver	Status
Arduino uno	serprog	Works fine
Arduino duemillanove	serprog	Works fine
Arduino Due	serprog	Works fine
openmoko debug board	ft2232_spi:type=openmoko	Works fine
3com PCI NIC (10b7:9200)	nic3com	Works fine
Sata SII PCI card		writing and erasing worked fine.
Really old PCI realtek cards		No parallel chip to test
Some GNU/Linux embedded boards	linux_spi	Backporting some mainline kernel patches is required on some very old (2.6.35) kernel for omap3. Works fine otherwise
~~An atahpt PCI card~~		Didn't work when adding the PCI IDS, but the atahpt is known not to work according to the mailing list.
~~old AGP Nvidia card~~		Worked with a patch (documented below)
Nvidia geforce 210 PCIe 16x card		didn't work when adding the PIC IDs

I've also the following hardware:

SOIC-8 and SOIC-16 clips (like the pomona 5250)
some chips(2MB SO8(currently soldered), 16MB SO8)

Work in progress for the wiki

Don't try that, it's dangerous!!!!

Howto(Dangerous, not ready for the wiki)

Howto flash sgabios on an Nvidia video card

Howto flash ipxe on an 3com network card

Howto flash coreboot on an PC Engine APU1
