Initial flashing instructions for KGPE-D16.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Memory initialization is still problematic, for some modules. We
|
|
|
|
|
recommend avoiding Kingston modules.*

===================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Refer to [spi.md](spi.md) for a guide on how to re-flash externally.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. *DO NOT* remove the chip with your hands. Use a chip
|
|
|
|
|
extractor tool.
