Hi there,
We have a bit of user documentation that shows how to lock a bootblock using
WP [1] and what should be taken into account before you do it [2] and
thought we can offer it to the upstream (after a bit of editing if there
is interest).
[1]: https://github.com/Dasharo/flashrom/blob/wp_integration/Documentation/heads…
[2]: https://github.com/Dasharo/flashrom/blob/wp_integration/Documentation/bootb…
There is Documentation/ directory in the repository, but I guess Wiki on
www.flashrom.org might be more appropriate as it's not documentation for
developers. The current format is Markdown, but `pandoc` can convert the
files to MediaWiki without issues.
Please check out the docs and say if they can be useful for the project.
Cheers,
Sergii
Hello,
I have recently received a thinkpad T14s Gen 3 AMD (Ryzen 6850U) and given flashrom a try. However, the winbond chip inside wasn't detected. I wonder if the team at flashrom can work around it. For more infomation, I have attached the log as well as the images of the motherboard : https://postimg.cc/gallery/MqXWhHv.
Thanks,

Hi, I encountered an Issue with flashing a BIOS and the message says
"Get help on IRC at chat.freenode.net (channel #flashrom)"
this points to an old server not monitored. The correct one (Libera.chat)
should also be included in the error message. They could help me there.
Version 1.2-5

Respected Sir/Madam,
Myself Neelima Mohanty , an open source contributor and I wish to
contribute to the projects of your organisation . I am sending my resume as
an attachment with this email. Can you please have a look at it to see my
skills and suggest me some open source projects which I will start
contributing from now.
Please send me the GitHub repo links of those projects . It will be also
kind enough if you suggest me names of the mentors of those projects and
their contact info so that I can get in touch with them for further details
of the open source projects.
Yours Sincerely

Hi flashrom community,
In the last weeks we got some big improvements merged to build flashrom with meson. The programmer selection got an complete overhaul and now it's also possible to use meson on non linux systems.
To plan the next step under this Topic we will meet us again on Friday October 14th, at 5:00 utc (7:00 Berlin) on https://meet.google.com/cnw-cegw-rad
Everyone is welcome to join!
The working document can be found on https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TVso_VbrLEbGc7BNrYxqlrP8jMxB23TuMqEI3Pn…
