To understand what is really going on, I did the following<br>
investigation on my only coreboot clone version,<br>
I have on my current SSD the following: WIN10, using VMware®<br>
Workstation 12 Player, version 12.5.8 build-7098237<br>
with Fedora 26 VM, where the coreboot is located.<br>
<br>
CLI transcript follows:<br>

_[user@localhost coreboot]$ pwd_<br>

_[user@localhost coreboot]$ git describe_<br>

<br>
_rm -f $MICROCODE_ARCHIVE_<br>
_rm -f $MICROCODE_FILE_<br>
<br>

<br>
Now, you can substitute 20150121.tgz with 20171117 [1].tgz in bash<span class="gmail-"><br>
shell script update-microcodes.sh and see what will happen?!<br>

That's not enough. The integers in the url of<br>
<a href="https://review.coreboot.org/cgit/blobs.git/tree/cpu/intel/microcode/update-microcodes.sh#n24" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://review.coreboot.org/cg<wbr>it/blobs.git/tree/cpu/intel/mi<wbr>crocode/update-microcodes.sh#<wbr>n24</a><br>
change aswell, not just MICROCODE_VERSION.<br>
<br>
So if you're suggesting that a download fails, that's not the issue.<br>
<br>
But maybe I got you wrong. Anyways, I haven't tried to change and run it. I might. so...<br>
