    ASUS KCMA-D8?

    + +

    + If you have the proprietary BIOS, you need to flash libreboot externally. + See kcma-d8.html. +

    +

    + If you already have coreboot or libreboot installed, without write protection on the flash + chip, then you can do it in software (otherwise, see link above). +

    + +

    + + DO NOT hot-swap the chip with your bare hands. Use a PDIP-8 + chip extractor. These can be found online. + See http://www.coreboot.org/Developer_Manual/Tools#Chip_removal_tools + +

    + +

    + Do check the HCL entry: ../hcl/kcma-d8.html +

    +

    Are you currently running libreboot (or coreboot)?

    KCMA-D8 external flashing instructions

    +

    Initial flashing instructions for kcma-d8.

    +

    + This guide is for those who want libreboot on their ASUS kcma-d8 + 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. +

    + +

    + For more general information about this board, refer to + ../hcl/kcma-d8.html. +

    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. +
