READ THIS BEFORE UPDATING LIBREBOOT, OR YOU MIGHT BRICK YOUR MACHINE
====================================================================
**On newer Intel platforms that require Intel ME and/or MRC firmware, such as
ThinkPad X230 or T440p, and/or HP laptops that require KBC1126 EC firmware,
the release ROMs of Libreboot are MISSING certain files, that you must insert
yourself. FAILURE to adhere to this warning may result in you bricking your
machine (rendering it unbootable), if you were to flash the release ROMs without
modifying them in any way. For more information, please read:**
**[Insert binary blobs on Sandybridge/Ivybridge/Haswell](../install/ivy_has_common.md)**
NOTE: This warning does not apply to ROMs that you compiled yourself, using
lbmk. It only applies to release ROMs, because ME/MRC/EC firmware is *deleted*
in release ROMs. The link above says how to re-add them. When building ROM images
yourself, from source, Libreboot's build system automatically handles it. See:
[Libreboot build instructions](../build/)
