KGPE-D16 boards (and full systems) with libreboot preinstalled

+ +

+ 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. +

+ Check the suppliers page for more information. +

+ +

External programmer

+ Refer to bbb_setup.html for a guide on + how to set up an external SPI programmer. +

+ 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. + DO NOT remove the chip with your hands. Use a chip extractor tool. +
