   # sudo yum install wget
   # wget https://firmware.netgate.com/bios/flashrom-0.9.5.2-2.svn1530.el6.x86_64.rpm
   # wget https://firmware.netgate.com/bios/bios12-flash-dff.tar.gz
   # sudo rpm -i flashrom-0.9.5.2-2.svn1530.el6.x86_64.rpm
   # tar -xzf bios12-flash-dff.tar.gz
   # cp /usr/local/bin/flashrom .
   # sudo chmod +x adi_flash_util
   # sudo adi_flash_util -u bios.rom

3. Allow the adi_flash_util command to end and the run the following command:
