For a project I needed software & hardware to program a flash-IC. Doing some research I came across Flashrom, which also runs on Raspberry Pi. That saved me from buying some USB-programmer because you can simply use the GPIO-port. The inconvenience is that Flashrom only runs from the command line right now. Thus, you have to connect via SSH etc. Being a Kodi user I thought "just give it a try" and here we are:
This plugin installs the capability and a GUI to use Flashrom in Kodi. In the beginning development was started for Raspberry only, but it can probably also be used in general for Kodi installed in any Linux environment. This addon was tested...
The code can be downloaded from Github: script.berryflash @ Github
And the Kodi addon is directly available here: script.berryflash.zip
Let me know if you find any errors, e.g. with other programmers when listed above.
Special thanks to the Flashrom team for their great work!
