A universal USB-based FWH/LPC/SPI programmer

by Alex Gagniuc for coreboot

While flashing SPI chips can be done externally with relative ease using flashrom, hardware to program FWH and LPC chips is beyond the reach of most enthusiasts. Cortex-M processors have become well-established in the open source community due to their low cost and extensive ecosystem. This makes them an ideal candidate for a universal ROM programmer. I propose a hardware/software/firmware ecosystem for a universal ROM programmer based on Cortex-M processors.
