    X200: Flashing libreboot (hardware or software)

    - -

    - If your X200 is running the original firmware (Lenovo BIOS), follow the instructions at - x200_external.html first. -

    - -

    - Software flashing instructions: the guide from #flashrom ought to work. -

    -

    - Notes about how the ME was removed (and disabled) for libreboot can be found at - ../hcl/x200_remove_me.html. -

    -

    - On the X200, the Gbe region in the flash chip contains your MAC address. - Libreboot ROM images already contain a descriptor and gbe in them, but - with the same MAC address, which probably isn't the one you want. You can change it. - Read the notes about ich9gen to - know how to change the MAC address inside your ROM image before flashing it to your - machine. -

    - -

    - Flashrom supports the flash chips in the X200, but might complain that the laptop isn't whitelisted. - There are two possible solutions: add a whitelist for X200 (and others) to flashrom, use use - -p internal:laptop=force_I_want_a_brick instead of -p internal as an argument when - running flashrom. -
