Hi there, long time user of the E-Z setup script here.  I recently went to run this on a newly acquired Asus Chromebox CN60 and hit a roadblock.  Further investigation points to a couple flashrom dependencies in https://www.mrchromebox.tech/files/util/flashrom.tar.gz

I am able to execute the built-in flashrom, but the downloaded one (with logging capability) errors our immediately.  The two dependencies are:

LIB_PCI_3.5 (and 3.3)
GLIBC_2.27

It's looking for these in /usr/lib64/libpci.so.3 and /lib64/libc.so.6.  I have versions libpci.so.3.1.10 and libc-2.19.so mapped to these libraries so it makes sense the script failed.

I was under the impression the downloaded flashrom would not have any external dependencies, but maybe something changed? 

I checked into downloading updates to these packages but the basic chromebox linux doesn't have a package manager so I'm not sure how to solve that.

I did reset the chromebox by going in and out of developer mode and no changes.  It's a fresh box as far as I can tell.

Screen picture of actual error:



Would it be possible to get a version of flashrom without dependencies?  I modified the script to just use the internal flashrom which allowed me to get to the main menu, but failed later when trying to setup the standalone bios (traced to a spot where it attempted to check logs which we know aren't there).  I was tempted to have it skip checking any logs which I assume would work but lose protections against any encountered errors.  I didn't want to take that chance yet though.

ok, I just pushed a change to try and work around that.  try clearing /tmp/boot/util and re-running the script
