I know very little about it really. It may well be potentially bad
to simply use the latest version,
but in case it's really only because nobody did it, I might prepare
a patch to use
downloadmirror.intel.com/27337/eng/microcode-20171117.tgz [1]
instead (someday, after
I testing it on my device).
To understand what is really going on, I did the following
investigation on my only coreboot clone version,
I have on my current SSD the following: WIN10, using VMware®
Workstation 12 Player, version 12.5.8 build-7098237
with Fedora 26 VM, where the coreboot is located.
CLI transcript follows:
_[user@localhost coreboot]$ pwd_
_/home/user/projects/coreboot/coreboot_
_[user@localhost coreboot]$ git describe_
_4.5-1006-gef7e98a2ac_

Now, you can substitute 20150121.tgz with 20171117 [1].tgz in bash
shell script update-microcodes.sh and see what will happen?!
That's not enough. The integers in the url of
https://review.coreboot.org/cgit/blobs.git/tree/cpu/intel/microcode/update-microcodes.sh#n24
change aswell, not just MICROCODE_VERSION.
So if you're suggesting that a download fails, that's not the issue.
But maybe I got you wrong. Anyways, I haven't tried to change and run
it. I might. so...
thanks
