This sections relates to known hardware compatibility in libreboot.
For installation instructions, refer to [../install/](../install/).
NOTE: For T60/R60 thinkpads, make sure that it has an Intel GPU, not an ATI GPU
because coreboot lacks native video initialization for the ATI GPUs on these
machines.
(for later machines like T500, T400, ATI GPU doesn't matter, because it also
has an Intel GPU, and libreboot uses the Intel one)

**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 vendor files 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:
