## Flashing coreboot
```eval_rst
+---------------------+------------+
| Type | Value |
+=====================+============+
| Socketed flash | no |
+---------------------+------------+
| Model | W25Q128 |
+---------------------+------------+
| Size | 16 MiB |
+---------------------+------------+
| In circuit flashing | yes |

| Package | SOIC-8 |
+---------------------+------------+
| Write protection | No |
+---------------------+------------+
| Dual BIOS feature | No |
+---------------------+------------+

```
### Internal programming
The SPI flash can be accessed using [flashrom].
### External programming
The EVT board does have a pinheader to flash the SOIC-8 in circuit.
Directly connecting a Pomona test-clip on the flash is also possible.
