You can also remove the motherboard from an X61/X61s and replace it with an X60/X60s motherboard.
An X60 Tablet motherboard will also fit inside an X60/X60s.
Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet (1024x768 and 1400x1050) with digitizer support
Changes for this release (latest changes first, earliest changes last)
Updated coreboot (git commit 8ffc085e1affaabbe3dca8ac6a89346b71dfc02e), the latest at the time of writing.
Updated SeaBIOS (git commit 67d1fbef0f630e1e823f137d1bae7fa5790bcf4e), the latest at the time of writing.
Updated Flashrom (svn revision 1850), the latest at the time of writing.
Updated GRUB (git commit 9a67e1ac8e92cd0b7521c75a734fcaf2e58523ad), the latest at the time of writing.
Cleaned up the documentation, removed unneeded files.
ec/lenovo/h8 (x60/x60s/x60t/t60): Enable wifi/bluetooth/wwan/touchpad/trackpoint by default.
Documentation: Updated list of T60 LCD's (Samsung LTN150XG 15" XGA listed as non-working).
builddeps-coreboot: Don't build libpayload (not needed. This was leftover by mistake, when trying out the TINT payload).
Replaced most diff files (patches) for coreboot with gerrit checkouts (cherry-pick).
Documentation: x60_security.html and t60_security.html: added links to info about the ethernet controller (Intel 82573).
Documentation: x60_security.html and t60_security.html: added notes about DMA and the docking station.
Documentation: configuring_parabola.html: basic post-install steps for Parabola GNU/Linux
(helpful, since libreboot development is being moved to Parabola at the time of writing).
builddeps-coreboot: use 'make crossgcc-i386' instead of 'make crossgcc'. Libreboot only targets x86 at the time of writing.
ROM images no longer include SeaBIOS. Instead, the user adds it afterwards. Documentation and scripts updated.
docs/images/encrypted_parabola.html: Notes about linux-libre-grsec
Documentation: encrypted_parabola.html: add tutorial for encrypted Parabola GNU/Linux installation.
Documentation: added more info about wifi chipsets
Critical tasks for future release
Look into these machines (based on discussions from IRC):
<pehjota> After the conversation yesterday about KolibriOS, I stumbled upon some hardware that community seems to like: the Vortex86 series of i586-compatible SoCs and the DMP EBOX nettops that use those SoCs. coreboot supports one computer by DMP (src/mainboard/dmp/vortex86ex/) which appears to be the EBOX-3100 (the only EBOX nettop AFAICT without VGA). Three years ago someone ported coreboot to the
<pehjota> EBOX-3300MX but apparently never upstreamed that work. These Vortex86 SoCs look pretty good, freedom-wise: I think there's no microcode at all, the VGA cores don't seem to need option ROMs, and there are no blobs for things like ME/MRC/AGESA. They have relatively low CPU clock rates (most at 600 or 933 MHz), so they aren't great for compiling or gaming. But they're sold as nettops, thin clients,
<pehjota> and embedded systems, and the prices ($95–$269 from the US distributor) aren't bad.
<pehjota> DMP EBOX computers: . EBOX-3300MX coreboot port: (last six commits). Basic (and incomplete) information on the Vortex86 SoCs: . Some technical overviews and resources: . DMP's BusyBox/Linux distribution (with a Linux config file but apparently no source code):
<pehjota> .
Implement INT 10H support in i945 native graphics. (this will be a lot of work. SeaBIOS has code for some geode boards, to get a general idea).
Adapt linux-libre deblob scripts for use with coreboot.
T60: find (for rare buggy CPU's that are unstable without microcode updates)
if there is a workaround: see future/index.html#t60_cpu_microcode
T60 15" QXGA (2048x1536): fixed issue where GRUB wouldn't show any graphics.
It might be the same issue I ran into with Paul on the X60 (not enough memory being allocated) since the same code works on T60 SXGA+ and UXGA, where GRUB actually display graphics.
Documentation: added as many links as I could find, to datasheets and schematics for macbook21/x60/t60 (i945 chipset, EC info for x60/t60/macbook21)
Documentation: Add a "development guide" for how to maintain libreboot ('get' scripts, deblob scripts, associated files under ./resources and so on)
