* `nvramtool`: a nix expression for the coreboot utility which manipulates the battery-backed (RTC) memory on x86 motherboards.
* `flashrom-wp`: adds an out-of-tree patch to flashrom to configure which range of bytes are protected by the write-protect pin. Upstream [does not have this feature](https://github.com/flashrom/flashrom/issues/142#issuecomment-793548441). There [appears to be adding some work towards adding it](https://review.coreboot.org/q/topic:more_wp). Work on this [began in 2016](https://mail.coreboot.org/pipermail/flashrom/2016-July/014737.html).
