Introduction
============
**Libreboot 20231021 and releases newer than this have ROMs available for
Dell Latitude E6430.**
ROM images for Dell Latitude E6430 are available for flashing in the Libreboot
releases *after* 20230625, or you can compile a ROM image for installation via
lbmk, see: [build instructions](../build/)
Only the Intel GPU variants are supported, currently. All models with Intel GPU
are assumed to work.
Unlike the E6400, this one does require a neutered Intel ME image to run. This
means running it through `me_cleaner` before flashing; the Libreboot build
system does this automatically, during build, or you can insert a neutered
ROM image using the vendor scripts, see guide:
[Insert vendor files](../install/ivy_has_common.md)
As with the E6400, this one is flashable in software, from Dell UEFI firmware
to Libreboot. Please refer to the installation instructions.
**To install Libreboot, see: [E6430 installation
instructions](../install/e6430.md)**
