The SRecord package is a collection of powerful tools for manipulating EPROM load files. It reads and writes numerous EPROM file formats, and can perform many different manipulations.

minipro is designed to program or read the contents of chips supported by the TL866xx series of programmers. This includes many microcontrollers, ROMs, EEPROMs and PLDs.

To use this program without root privileges you must install the necessary udev rules. This can be done by extending udev-service-type in your operating-system configuration with this package. E.g.: (udev-rules-service 'minipro minipro #:groups '("plugdev"). Additionally your user must be member of the plugdev group.

This package provides tools for disabling Intel ME as far as possible (it only edits ME firmware image files).

Dfu-programmer is a multi-platform command-line programmer for Atmel (8051, AVR, XMEGA & AVR32) chips with a USB bootloader supporting ISP.

This package is an unofficial command line tool for use with WCH-Link, a USB debbuger tool for flashing and debugging WCH RISC-V and ARM microcontrollers. This tool is still in development and may not be ready for production use.

Allows flashing of Rockchip based embedded linux devices. The list of currently supported devices is: RK2818, RK2918, RK2928, RK3026, RK3036, RK3066, RK312X, RK3168, RK3188, RK3288, RK3368.

uuu is a command line tool, evolved out of MFGTools. It can be used to upload images to I.MX SoC's using at least their boot ROM.

This tool is for flashing custom layouts to ZSA keyboards.

flashrom is a utility for identifying, reading, writing, verifying and erasing flash chips. It is designed to flash BIOS/EFI/coreboot/firmware/optionROM images on mainboards, network/graphics/storage controller cards, and various other programmer devices.

The DFU (Universal Serial Bus Device Firmware Upgrade) protocol is intended to download and upload firmware to devices connected over USB. It ranges from small devices like micro-controller boards up to mobile phones. With dfu-util you are able to download firmware to your device or upload firmware from it.

This package provides a udev rules file that allows unprivileged users communication with the Teensy family of micro-controllers. ModemManager (part of NetworkManager) can interfere with USB Serial devices, which includes the Teensy. In case of problems, see the .rules file for possible workarounds.

uefitool is a graphical image file editor for Unifinished Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) images.

This package provides a program to transfer a bitstream to an FPGA. To use openfpgaloader without root privileges it is necessary to install the necessary udev rules. This can be done by extending udev-service-type in the operating-system configuration file with this package, as in:

(udev-rules-service 'openfpgaloader openfpgaloader #:groups '("plugdev")

Additionally, the plugdev group should be registered in the supplementary-groups field of your user-account declaration. Refer to info "(guix) Base Services" for examples.

This tool communicates with USB devices of id 05c6:9008 to upload a flash loader and use this to flash images.

AVRDUDE is a utility to download/upload/manipulate the ROM and EEPROM contents of AVR microcontrollers using the ISP technique.

The Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher (0xFFFF) is a flashing tool for FIASCO images. It supports generating, unpacking, editing and flashing of FIASCO images for Maemo devices. Use it with care. It can brick your device.

This package provides ifdtool, a program to dump Intel Firmware Descriptor data of an image file.

heimdall is a tool suite used to flash firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung mobile devices. Heimdall connects to a mobile device over USB and interacts with low-level software running on the device, known as Loke. Loke and Heimdall communicate via the custom Samsung-developed protocol typically referred to as the "Odin 3 protocol".

This package provides tools for working with Intel Management Engine (ME). You need to sudo rmmod mei_me and sudo rmmod mei before using this tool. Also pass iomem=relaxed to the Linux kernel command line.

The Teensy loader program communicates with your Teensy board when the HalfKay bootloader is running, so you can upload new programs and run them.

You need to add the udev rules to make the Teensy update available for non-root users.

Flex is a tool for generating scanners. A scanner, sometimes called a tokenizer, is a program which recognizes lexical patterns in text. The flex program reads user-specified input files, or its standard input if no file names are given, for a description of a scanner to generate. The description is in the form of pairs of regular expressions and C code, called rules. Flex generates a C source file named, "lex.yy.c", which defines the function yylex(). The file "lex.yy.c" can be compiled and linked to produce an executable. When the executable is run, it analyzes its input for occurrences of text matching the regular expressions for each rule. Whenever it finds a match, it executes the corresponding C code.

The Non Tool Kit (NTK) is a fork of the Fast Light ToolKit library, adding improved graphics rendering via Cairo, a streamlined and enhanced widget set, and other features designed to improve the appearance and performance of the Non applications.

FLTK is a C++ GUI toolkit providing modern GUI functionality without the bloat. It supports 3D graphics via OpenGL and its built-in GLUT emulation. FLTK is designed to be small and modular enough to be statically linked, but works fine as a shared library. FLTK also includes an excellent UI builder called FLUID that can be used to create applications in minutes.
