#127 Documentation: 12mb roms (X230)

Closed
opened 2 years ago by shmalebx9 · 2 comments

I decided to try out osboot on an x230 and found that there was no documentation for this board. Specifically, I noticed there was no mention of flashing both chips and how to add ifd/gbe/me. I did all of this using the modify script to add all of those blobs and tell coreboot to strip the ME as well. I'm wondering if I actually did this correctly, or if there is some other better way to go about it. If modifying the coreboot config is the right way then I can make a PR with documentation for how I did it that way. Otherwise, I should still have this x230 for long enough to learn and document the correct way to flash this board.

yeah i nuked the whole lot

december 2020: forked libreboot to osboot

then i forked osboot back to libreboot, maintained libreboot...

osboot got out of sync. i decided it was easier to nuke the entire project

so i nuked it. what you see on osboot.org now is a recent re-forking of libreboot. docs are almost the same. also x230 is added. microcode added, etc

all the stuff that got purged will be re-added
