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.

To be followed :

Research direction

Start with the linked follow-up comment and the Dasharo initial-deployment instructions referenced in the issue. Establish the intended EC firmware synchronization path for nv41/ns50 and reconcile it with the abandoned flashrom approach; done means the supported update behavior and implementation scope are clearly defined.
