Hi Anastasia, Thanks for your reply and suggestions.
>You can do one of "Fix scan-build issues". In the description of this task, it said, “Run scan-build in the tree.” I am a little confused about the words “in the tree.” How can I find it?

You can do, for example, like this. Once you build flashrom, you can run help command flashrom -h This is not doing anything with hardware, just showing help information. Specifically, all command line operations, arguments and what they are doing. The code which is an entry point for help command (and for all the other command line operations) is in cli_classic.c file. First of all, read help information, see what operations are available. Then you can start with cli_classic.c , pick some operation and explore the code which implements it. > What further preparation need I take if I wish to join Gsoc this year? I see that the Easy project that you picked might already be done (as Simon said). You can do one of "Fix scan-build issues". You will learn how to work with Gerrit, and this is critical since we use Gerrit on flashrom. Good Luck!

Most likely you clicked the "Reply" button instead of "Reply All". I am adding the mailing list back, but for future please keep in mind to Reply All. The most important reason is that if you send your questions to the mailing list, then everyone in our community can help you! Which is really good. You will have various questions, and you never know who is the best person to answer. So, pay attention that the mailing list is on the To line ;) Some things I can answer: >> The platform Gerrit is mentioned in the "Development Guidelines." All I know >> about it is that it is a code management tool. Are there any tutorial videos >> or articles that I can use to learn more about Gerrit? Gerrit is also a code review tool. Gerrit has an official website with lots of presentations, look here https://www.gerritcodereview.com/presentations.html , hopefully that's useful! >> I went to GitHub's official Flashrom mirror. You can browse all code on GitHub, no problem, and yes it can be a convenient way to browse. Just keep in mind GitHub is a mirror, so that's pretty much only for browsing code. When you start with trying to make changes by yourself, you need to set up flashrom git repository locally. When you come to that point, open https://review.coreboot.org/admin/repos/flashrom and choose your desired method to clone the repository. Supported methods are HTTPS and SSH. The same method will also be used when you push your changes to Gerrit later. >> My current devices are a Windows 11 laptop (processor 11370H, Tiger >> Lake-H35) and a Mac. Is it possible for me to try out some patches on my >> computer? Also, could you provide me with any resources or introductions to >> chip packaging (DIP32, PLCC32, DIP8...)? I am wondering if someone else can take these questions? We need community help on this :) Thanks! -- Anastasia.
