Description
Edit: how to update EC to be in sync with firmware version?
flashrom needs to support ite_ec programmer to be able to flash ec firmware internally on nv41 edit: flashrom only supports proprietary protocol to talk to EC prior of switching to open source version. This strategy wouldn't work. Clarified in next comments. Firmware will contain EC and coreboot will sync EC to its contained version.
