Hello there, I hope you are well today when you receive this email. I am Aarya Chaumal, a Computer Engineering student at the College of Engineering Pune, India. While going through organizations for this year's Google's Summer of Code I came across your organization, Flashrom.
I am a part of onboard computers subsystem at my college's satellite initiative. Through this, I have closely worked on Atmel SAM E70 XPLAINED board. Also, I have strong knowledge about C/C++ and assembly language. >From your list of GSoC project ideas, I liked the idea of “Remove global state from flashrom” and "Optimize Erase-Function Selection", although I am not quite sure which one is more suitable for me. Can you guide me through this? As mentioned in your Contributor commitments and requirements, I started to do one of the easy projects - Add new flash chip definitions. For this, I read the relevant datasheets, one from the unlisted chips and another of a listed one (for reference) but still, I am not getting the information about some fields for the structure in the datasheet, namely the feature_bits, probe_timing. Also, do I have to write the probe, read, write and erase functions for the chip separately? Also, how do I test if my code is working as I don't have relevant hardware with me? Can you help me with this? Also what resources should I use to learn more about it? Thank you for looking into this for me. Sincerely, Aarya Chaumal
