Nov 1, 2024November 2024 monthly summary for Dasharo/coreboot: Delivered foundational SPI flash SFDP support and RPMC integration, establishing the groundwork for secure boot capabilities and broader hardware compatibility. Implemented SFDP discovery and robust data handling to enable future parameter parsing and supported larger SFDP parameter tables via chunked transfers. Extended the SPI flash driver with RPMC awareness, parsing RPMC data, exposing RPMC information, and enabling provisioning/updating of security keys and monotonic counters. Strengthened PSP/RPMC robustness with explicit error reporting, compile warning fixes, and alignment of P2C buffer sizing to reference specs, improving stability and compatibility.
