It's also possible to make Linux (with included ramdisk) into a
payload, so maybe that could be a middle ground: It's still usable by
all payloads that can execute payloads, it's still Linux + userland in
a more or less normal configuration. It has some overhead, but OTOH
brings the peace of mind o
Makes sense. That was one thing that gave me a bit of a gut feeling to do
it in a small linux install than to try to integrate more tightly with the
firmware. The linux utility is what everyone uses and should be more
reliable.
I've been recently burned by that issue too, on proprietary firmware f

What is libflashrom used for in FILO? Was it intended at some point that
FILO be able to reflash the BIOS, or is it being used for something like
reading the flash chip in order to load other things?

Why does it have to be done by Seabios as opposed to Linux? It is easy to
create a USB stick which would boot Linux compiled with permissions needed
and with startup files which will program the new firmware image. This
would be much easier to debug and modify when needed, right?
