<body><div class="section"><p>If you're using libreboot from git, note that only CrOS devices build at the moment. We merged a newly rewritten build system recently, and we've yet to complete re-integration of older boards into Libreboot. Use Libreboot 20160907 for the time being, unless you're involved in libreboot development</p></div>

			<p>Initial flashing instructions for KGPE-D16.</p>
			<p>
				This guide is for those who want libreboot on their ASUS KGPE-D16
				motherboard, while they still have the proprietary ASUS BIOS present.
				This guide can also be followed (adapted) if you brick you board, to know
				how to recover.
			</p>


            <p>
                <b>Memory initialization is still problematic, for some modules. We recommend avoiding Kingston modules.</b>
            </p>

				For more general information about this board, refer to

			<p>
				If you don't want to install libreboot yourself, companies exist that sell these boards
				with libreboot pre-installed, along with a free GNU+Linux distribution.
			</p>
			<p>
				Check the <a href="../../suppliers">suppliers</a> page for more information.

				Refer to <a href="bbb_setup.html">bbb_setup.html</a> for a guide on
				how to set up an external SPI programmer.
			</p>
			<p>
				The flash chip is in a PDIP 8 socket (SPI flash chip) on the motherboard,
				which you take out and then re-flash with libreboot, using the programmer.
				<b>DO NOT</b> remove the chip with your hands. Use a chip extractor tool.
