<p>Initial flashing instructions for KGPE-D16.</p>
<p>
This guide is for those who want libreboot on their ASUS KGPE-D16
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.
</p>
<p>
<b>Memory initialization is still problematic, for some modules. We recommend avoiding Kingston modules.</b>
</p>
<p>
For more general information about this board, refer to
<a href="../hcl/kgpe-d16.html">../hcl/kgpe-d16.html</a>.

<h1 id="preinstall">KGPE-D16 boards (and full systems) with libreboot preinstalled</h1>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
Check the <a href="../../suppliers">suppliers</a> page for more information.

<h1 id="programmer">External programmer</h1>
<p>
Refer to <a href="bbb_setup.html">bbb_setup.html</a> for a guide on
how to set up an external SPI programmer.
</p>
<p>
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.
<b>DO NOT</b> remove the chip with your hands. Use a chip extractor tool.
