  • - + F2A85-M and E350M1 (libreboot_*_headless.rom). Test openatom (video BIOS replacement). SMU firmware is a problem. XHCI firmware is a problem. +

  • This list needs to expand!
  • - ThinkPad R500: http://projects.mtjm.eu/work_packages/43 -
    • -
  • - ThinkPad W500: they all use switchable graphics (ATI+Intel), the native init code in coreboot (for Intel) - needs to disable the ATI chip and use Intel (this isn't done yet) -
    • -
  • - port acer aspire 5738 to coreboot (gm45)? (and then libreboot). EC is the main blocker (no support in coreboot yet). - ME isn't an issue, because its GM45 so it could be removed (it looks like this machine might also be shipped in - non-descriptor mode by default, like the roda rk9). - Search jv50 block diagram filetype:pdf for schematics. - (jv50 is written on the board); noone seems to have found any documentation for the EC chip, but - maybe it could be sufficiently reverse engineered via serialice and ectool. -

  • - T400S and X301. These both seem to be GS45. X301 uses only the low-performance mode CPUs, so raminit - is the main blocker there. They both probably use WSON-8 flash chips. -
    • -
  • - Add proper GS45 raminit for enabling all X200S and X200 Tablets to work properly. (maybe other machines) - See hcl/x200.html#x200s_raminit -
    • -
  • - ThinkPad X201 - ME ignition is an issue. 30min reset watchdog for ME is an issue. Might be possible to disable watchdog in the flash descriptor - (soft straps) - sgsit in the libreboot or coreboot IRC channel is interested in this. -
    • -
  • - T410S is supported but not yet merged. This uses the same chipset as the X201. - http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/7975/ - has the patch. This should be tested by someone and should ideally be merged in coreboot. pecg has one. help him. -

  • - This page contains a list of basically every thinkpad that would ever be a candidate for libreboot: - http://psref.lenovo.com/WithdrawnBook - - take a look at this PDF. -
