The easiest way is using dd, where you can specify the block
size as well as input and output offsets.

e.g.
dd if=/dev/topcliffphub of=testfile bs=7

Should be able to read the contents of the rom completely
without error conditions, copying seven bytes at a time.

dd if=inputfile of=/dev/topcliffphub bs=1 seek=1024 count=16

would write 16 bytes from inputfile into the rom at position 1024.
