Nine-weight conjecture for the subfield code associated with x6x^6

From papers

Let q=2mq=2^m, and let C(f,q)(2){\mathcal{C}}_{(f,q)}^{(2)} be the binary subfield code defined by the trace representation for an oval polynomial ff. Nine-weight conjecture. For odd m5m\geq 5, the code C(x6,q)(2){\mathcal{C}}_{(x^6,q)}^{(2)} has parameters

[2m+1,2m,2m12(m1)/2],[2^m+1,2m,2^{m-1}-2^{(m-1)/2}],

and nine nonzero weights. Its dual has parameters [2m+1,2m2m+1,3][2^m+1,2^m-2m+1,3]. The minimal distance and weight distribution were not determined in the paper, and this claim is based on Magma experiments.
