This method for enabling and disabling patches has gotten unwieldy, especially since there are now multiple non-overlapping hardware types with different sets of patches.

True. One the other hand, three patches are not that much either. If more get added then it should probably be optimized.

Yes, technically this rule does depend on slice.insert, however changes to the slice.insert script (and similarly, the copyFL2 script below) should not change the contents of the resultant output.

(Conversely, there would not normally be any changes to these scripts, so no rebuilds would be triggered)

Can you expand a little on what your reasoning was?

"should not change the contents of the resultant output." True, but we can eliminate this last bit of uncertainty also by simply rerunning the script if it changed. Is that an issue?

I added this for "./scripts/slice.insert" as well when I was working on copyFL2 which output did change while working on it. Does that work for you?

Yes, that works for me. I think I just dont like adding anything to those define lines - they are far too long. But I should just consider this as more reasons to try and rework those lines into something less ugly.

Not a batch script but some binary blob which was invoked exactly the same by the original autoexec.bat. I simply copied last line from the original file.

Looking closer, it seems that /FLASH/COMMAND.COM is a compiled script which calls /FLASH/UPDTFLSH.EXE - another compiled script - which in turn calls FLASH/PHLASH16.EXE - and it looks like that one has some commandline options for specifying which files to flash.

I also wonder if the default flash scripts will allow you to re-flash a "same version" image - the xx30 tools certainly didnt, which is why zmatt worked out the dosflash commandline options.

Either way, to clean this up, it looks like some thought will be needed on how to make the autoexec bat generation better in the future.

This seems not to be an issue here. The EC firmware could just be downgraded with the patched.x200.314.106 image/flasher. I can confirm that this worked. I also tried to increase the version numbers but this was not reflected in the BIOS message. To be continued.

This is worth a try, thanks!

Configuring which patches are used
----------------------------------

This repository has two sets of patches - one set for the keyboard
changes and one for turning off the battery validation. The battery
patches are disabled by default, but are easy to enable.
This repository has contains the following sets of patches for various ThinkPad models:

* Patch to use the classical IBM keyboard instead of the newer Lenovo chiclet keyboard.
* Turning off the authentic battery validation check.
The battery patches are disabled by default, but are easy to enable.
* Swap Fn and CtlL keys so that the physical layout becomes CtlL, Fn (how it should be).
For older Thinkpad models like the xx00 series the EC can not be configured
to swap Fn and Ctrl. This setting would usually be exposed in the BIOS setup
or in nvram when using coreboot.
Enabled by default for models where this can not be configured.
