PM 01:03 AM flashrom Bug #643: internal programmer: BCR write enable failure causes flash write to fail on Intel Tiger Lake (regression since v1.5)

Whoops, disregard the double update. I was trying to update my comment to note that this is a Chromebook Flip CX3, and I suspect chromebooks probably configure relevant bits differently from the reporter's hardware so this probably isn't... Peter Marheine

PM 01:02 AM flashrom Bug #643: internal programmer: BCR write enable failure causes flash write to fail on Intel Tiger Lake (regression since v1.5)

I borrowed an Asus Chromebook Flip CX3 with i7-1160G7 to test some operations.

PM 11:21 PM flashrom Feature #568: Investigate maybe we can increase minimum required meson version (revisit in 2027)

I think we need to keep 0.56 at least for now, since at least a few distributions that are still in support only have 0.56.
* Debian oldstable (Bullseye): supported until September 2026, but meson 1.0 is available as an optional back... Peter Marheine

PM 05:11 AM flashrom Bug #561: Install script can't find cmocka

`ich_descriptors_tool` isn't a subproject (it doesn't use `subproject()` or a wrap file), so it would be unaffected.
However, I didn't like how `--skip-subprojects` needs to be specified on the command line (it adds burden to users), ... Peter Marheine

PM 04:21 AM flashrom Bug #561: Install script can't find cmocka

It seems like meson doesn't currently provide a good way to explicitly select install behavior for a subproject (which cmocka currently is, since we're using a wrap for it). From https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/10561, `meson ... Peter Marheine

PM 12:29 AM flashrom Bug #561: Install script can't find cmocka

We probably shouldn't be trying to install the tests or related libraries at all, so need to look into how to tell meson not to install chosen things. Peter Marheine

PM 01:32 AM flashrom Bug #525 (Resolved): Potential clash when custom get_flash_region() called in erase_write

https://review.coreboot.org/c/flashrom/+/82393 has been merged, so we believe this bug is fixed. Peter Marheine

PM 05:37 AM flashrom Bug #525: Potential clash when custom get_flash_region() called in erase_write

Combined fix with tests: https://review.coreboot.org/c/flashrom/+/82393/
The new test cases #0 and #5 both fail without the fix, because it tries to erase 8 bytes using the 16-byte erase opcode. Peter Marheine

PM 11:22 PM flashrom Bug #504 (Closed): MingW meson build is broken with pre-2019 libraries

As there have been no other opinions on whether we should try to support sufficiently old MinGW, I'm closing this since I don't think it's worth supporting. Peter Marheine
