  • The BIOS flash is mapped in its entirety to a board-specific address. Here it looks like the right edge is always 00000000ffffffff, and it expands to the left as the size of the flash increases.
  • The last 4096 bytes of flash are mapped to ff000 as well.
x/4096xb 0x00000000fffff000

Left edge moves left as we add more to the ROM image. Last 4096 bytes of the ROM image are also mapped to 0xff000.
