Libreboot Success on a T440p!
Last Updated:
My second attempt at flashing Libreboot (and first external flashing of a BIOS ever) was a success! Surprising not the hard if you know what you’re doing. The only complication I had was my RaspberryPi randomly dying after I flashed the top chip and before I could flash the bottom chip. I thought I was going to have to run out to Microcenter and buy an emergency RaspberryPi, but magically it started working again the next day, so I was able to flash the bottom chip.
Now, the motherboard I flashed onto is actually broken I’m pretty sure (I can not get anything to display to any LCD I try), but I was using this a test run to make sure I can external flash without fucking up. I am likely going to order a new motherboard that works and flash Libreboot again as well as write a step-by-step guide for myself anybody else who comes across it.
For now I’ll leave some helpful links:
