Flashrom
========
Introduction
------------
This plugin uses `flashrom` to update the system firmware.
Firmware Format
---------------
The daemon will decompress the cabinet archive and extract a firmware blob in
an unspecified binary file format, which is typically the raw input for an
EEPROM programmer.
This plugin supports the following protocol ID:
* org.flashrom
GUID Generation
---------------
These device uses hardware ID values which are derived from SMBIOS. They should
match the values provided by `fwupdtool hwids` or the `ComputerHardwareIds.exe`
Windows utility.
