T60 15.4&quot; (1280x800 and 1680x1050) with Intel GPU is untested in this pre-release. Not much yet is known about panel names.
They will be tested at a later date.
</p>
+ <h2><u>*</u> T60 (microcode): some CPU's might not work (can be replaced)</h2>
+ <p>
+ A user with 2 T60's, each with a Core 2 Duo T7200 processor tried libreboot on each machine.
+ One worked, one did not. It should be explained that in addition to the microcode (on the CPU),
+ updates are usually supplied in coreboot (from Intel) which patch the onboard microcode to fix bugs.
+ Errata's can be found at <a href="http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/SPECUPDT/30922214.pdf">http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/SPECUPDT/30922214.pdf</a>
+ and <a href="http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/SPECUPDT/31407918.pdf">http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/SPECUPDT/31407918.pdf</a>.
+ These microcode updates are not included in libreboot because they are proprietary (blobs). Most CPU's work fine without them: hundreds
+ of Core Duo T2300/T2400/T2500/L2300/L2400/L2500 processors have been tested on the X60, and a few T5600 CPU's have been tested on the T60 (and X60 and all work).
+ In the case of the T7200, it was found that one of the two tested had instability issues (kernel panics) without the updates: work is being done to find out
+ exactly what version of the microcode that particular CPU had in this case.
+ If you find that your CPU gives you similar issues (after trying libreboot), the current workaround is to simply try another CPU
+ (fortunately, the CPU's in the T60 are installed in a socket so replacing them is easy).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ There might be a patched kernel that can be used, or a kernel parameter that can be used in GRUB to work around these (rare) buggy CPU's
+ (it is unknown at the moment whether this is possible).
+ The Core 2 Duo T7600 is untested, but will be tested soon (the lead developer of libreboot project has 3 of them to try out).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If reading this for 2nd beta, note that any debugging obtained so far will be included in the 3rd beta.

+ A libreboot (or coreboot) ROM is not simply &quot;flat&quot;; there is an actual filesystem inside called CBFS (coreboot filesystem). A utility called 'cbfstool'
allows you to change the contents of the ROM. In this case, libreboot is configured such that the grub.cfg exists directly inside CBFS instead of

+ <b>stress -c 2</b> command can be used to push the CPU to 100%, and <b>xsensors</b> (or <b>watch sensors</b> command) can be used to monitor heat.

+
+ <p>
+ Firstly remove the bluetooth (if your X60 has this):<br/>
+ The marked screws are underneath those stickers (marked in those 3 locations at the bottom of the LCD assembly):<br/>
+ <img src="x60_security/0000_bluetooth0.jpg" alt="" /><br/>
+ Now gently pry off the bottom part of the front bezel, and the bluetooth module is on the left (easily removable):<br/>
+ <img src="x60_security/0000_bluetooth.jpg" alt="" /><br/>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ If your model was WWAN, remove the simcard (check anyway):<br/>
+ Uncover those 2 screws at the bottom:<br/>
+ <img src="x60_security/0000_simcard0.jpg" alt="" /><br/>
+ SIM card is in the marked location:<br/>
+ <img src="x60_security/0000_simcard1.jpg" alt="" /><br/>
+ Replacement: USB dongle.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Now get into the motherboard.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Remove those screws:<br/>
+ <img src="x60_security/0000.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Push the keyboard forward (carefully):<br/>
+ <img src="x60_security/0001.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Lift the keyboard up and disconnect it from the board:<br/>
+ <img src="x60_security/0002.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Grab the right-hand side of the chassis and force it off (gently) and pry up the rest of the chassis:<br/>
+ <img src="x60_security/0003.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ You should now have this:<br/>
+ <img src="x60_security/0004.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The following is a summary of what you will remove (already done to this machine):<br/>
+ <img src="x60_security/0001_overview.jpg" alt="" /><br/>
+ Note: the blue lines represent antenna cables and modem cables. You don't need to remove these, but you can if you want
+ (to make it tidier after removing other parts). I removed the antenna wires, the modem jack, the modem cable and
+ also (on another model) a device inside the part where the wwan antenna goes (wasn't sure what it was, but I knew it wasn't needed). <b>This is optional</b>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Remove the microphone (can desolder it, but you can also easily pull it off with you hands). Already removed here:<br/>
+ <img src="x60_security/0001_microphone.jpg" alt="" /><br/>
+ We do not know what the built-in microcode (on the CPU) is doing. The theory is that it could be programmed to take commands that do something
+ and then the CPU returns results. (meaning, remote security hole). So we remove it, just in case.<br/>
+ Replacement: external microphone on USB or line-in jack.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Remove the modem:<br/>
+ <img src="x60_security/0001_modem.jpg" alt="" /><br/>
+ (useless, obsolete device)
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Remove the speaker:<br/>
+ <img src="x60_security/0001_speaker.jpg" alt="" /><br/>
+ Reason: combined with the microphone issue, this could be used to leak data.<br/>
+ Replacement: headphones/speakers (line-out) or external DAC (USB).
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Remove the wlan (also remove wwan if you have it):<br/>
+ <img src="x60_security/0001_wlan_wwan.jpg" alt="" /><br/>
+ Reason: has direct (and very fast) memory access, and could (theoretically) leak data over a side-channel.
+ </p>

+ A user with 2 T60's, each with a Core 2 Duo T7200 processor tried libreboot on each machine.
+ One worked, one did not. It should be explained that in addition to the microcode (on the CPU),
+ updates are usually supplied in coreboot (from Intel) which patch the onboard microcode to fix bugs.
+ Errata's can be found at <a href="http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/SPECUPDT/30922214.pdf">http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/SPECUPDT/30922214.pdf</a>
+ and <a href="http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/SPECUPDT/31407918.pdf">http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/SPECUPDT/31407918.pdf</a>.
+ These microcode updates are not included in libreboot because they are proprietary (blobs). Most CPU's work fine without them: hundreds
+ of Core Duo T2300/T2400/T2500/L2300/L2400/L2500 processors have been tested on the X60, and a few T5600 CPU's have been tested on the T60 (and X60 and all work).
+ In the case of the T7200, it was found that one of the two tested had instability issues (kernel panics) without the updates: work is being done to find out
+ exactly what version of the microcode that particular CPU had in this case.
+ If you find that your CPU gives you similar issues (after trying libreboot), the current workaround is to simply try another CPU
+ (fortunately, the CPU's in the T60 are installed in a socket so replacing them is easy).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ There might be a patched kernel that can be used, or a kernel parameter that can be used in GRUB to work around these (rare) buggy CPU's
+ (it is unknown at the moment whether this is possible).
+ The Core 2 Duo T7600 is untested, but will be tested soon (the lead developer of libreboot project has 3 of them to try out).
+ </p>

+ If reading this for 2nd beta, note that any debugging obtained so far will be included in the 3rd beta.
