#83 retroboot for x230 guide suggestion

Can you make the guide more clear as to what you need to do, if you already have coreboot on the thinkpad x230? With me cleaner also... aka migration... I have me cleaner used on it and coreboot on it.

also, I have something called a SPI configuration lockdown which prevents me from seeing my flash chip, do you know how to bypass that?

I got this device preflashed by someone prior. Zerocat.org is the shop I had my x230 thinkpad flashed with.

Is there any major bugs to watch for if I switch to retroboot's beta? I assume nothing huge given that it is not an alpha anymore. Anywho, let me know.

When you start your x230 with iomem=relaxed kernel command and then run flashrom -p internal, what is the output?

This: flashrom on Linux 5.10.18-gnu (x86_64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org

Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns). coreboot table found at 0xbff77000. Found chipset "Intel QM77". Enabling flash write... Warning: SPI Configuration Lockdown activated. Enabling hardware sequencing due to multiple flash chips detected. OK. Found Programmer flash chip "Opaque flash chip" (12288 kB, Programmer-specific) mapped at physical address 0x0000000000000000. No operations were specified.

I got the beta release working for my x230, but I am curious why Leah pulled it from the repos recently...

I had coreboot prior to this on my system and I did this:

sudo ./flashrom/flashrom -l resources/coreboot/x230_7mb/flash.layout -i coreboot -w retroboot.rom -p internal

I am stunned how fast it boots into the new os.

Leah is brilliant, and I know who to thank regarding this.

I will close for now if thats okay...
