- reirob 9y agoFor those like me are running Linux and asking how to update the BIOS, lenovo provides a ISO file. Quoting from [1]: "The BIOS Update CD can boot the computer disregarding the operating systems and update the UEFI BIOS (including system program and Embedded Controller program) stored in the ThinkPad computer to fix problems, add new functions, or expand functions as noted below."

- duozerk 9y agoYeah, basically all BIOS have that. Some simply need a FAT usb key inserted with a specifically-named file that the BIOS looks for instead of a "true" bootable media.
- confounded 9y agoI wonder what this means (if anything) for machines running Coreboot.
