Flashing My Lenovo X230 with Coreboot

• guilhas 8y ago
  Interesting. Any place to buy already flashed? Also what is the big disadvantage to libreboot?
  • sohex 8y ago
    Libreboot is built on Coreboot, the big difference is that Libreboot strips out the Intel Management Engine.

      And Libreboot doesn't support the X230. Also, coreboot has an option to neuter the ME.

  I bought an x230 to try this, and simply could not get the programmer to see the SPI chip. So I bought some extra SPI chips, and stuff. Haven't tried going further, but I am happy to learn how clueless I am with chip-level hardware skills. It's a fun rabbit-hole, and I haven't started any fires. So far.
