There is this which came out today:
http://www.h-online.com/open/Universal-BIOS-Flash-programmer-for-Linux-BSD-and-more--/news/113221
Though from the motherboard list at http://www.coreboot.org/Flashrom it looks like your *specific* motherboard manufacturers are not *yet* listed.
OTOH, this FlashROM BIOS upgrade progam *might* indeed end up working fine on your systems.
Please feel free to let the CoreBoot developers and we others know how this works for you.
