| =============================== |
| Recent development (unreleased) |
| =============================== |
| |
| This document describes the major changes that are expected to be included in |
| the next release of flashrom and which are currently only available by source |
| code checkout (see :doc:`../dev_guide/building_from_source`). These changes |
| may be further revised before the next release. |
| |
| Known issues |
| ============ |
| |
| AMD-based PCs with FCH are unable to read flash contents for internal (BIOS |
| flash) chips larger than 16 MB, and attempting to do so may crash the system. |
| Systems with AMD "Promontory" IO extenders (mostly "Zen" desktop platforms) are |
| not currently supported. |

| |
| Build only supported with Meson |
| =============================== |
| |
| As documented in the :doc:`v1.4 release notes <v_1_4>`, support for building |
| flashrom with make has been removed; all Makefiles have been deleted. Meson is |
| now the only supported tool for building flashrom from source. |
| |
| New Feature |
| =========== |
| Libpci 3.13.0 and onwards support ECAM to access pci registers. Flashrom will |
| be moved to ECAM from IO port 0xcf8/0xcfc if the libpci version is >= 3.13.0. |
| The ECAM has been supported for a very long time, most platforms should support |
| it. For those platforms don't support ECAM, libpci will terminate the process by |
| exit. |
| |
| Chipset support |
| =============== |
| Added Raptor Point PCH support. |
