Buy Libreboot preinstalled
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
This laptop is available to buy with Libreboot pre-installed:
|
||||
<https://minifree.org/product/libreboot-w541/>
|
||||
|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: Libreboot standardises on [flashprog](https://flashprog.org/wiki/Flashprog)
|
||||
now, as of 27 January 2024, which is a fork of flashrom.
|
||||
|
||||
**[PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING](../../news/safety.md),
|
||||
OR YOU MIGHT BRICK YOUR MACHINE: [SAFETY PRECAUTIONS](../../news/safety.md)**
|
||||
|
||||
Read the [Ivybridge/Haswell common guide](/docs/install/ivy_has_common.html) if you want more information.
|
||||
All of the following instructions assume that you've cloned lbmk and are operating from the
|
||||
root of that project. To do so, run
|
||||
|
||||
git clone https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk
|
||||
cd lbmk
|
||||
|
||||
You can now follow the rest of the instructions.

|
||||
Warning: external flashing notes
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
This machine cannot be easily flashed externally. It is recommended
|
||||
to set a higher drive strength on your programmer; anything 12mA to
|
||||
16mA should be fine.
|
||||
|
||||
When flashing one of the two chips, you must tie the chip select high
|
||||
on the other one. More testing is needed.
|
||||
|
||||
The only currently known-reliable way of flashing it is to de-solder both
|
||||
ICs, flash them in a socket and solder them back. You could alternatively
|
||||
use WSON8 sockets, and install WSON8 ICs in them.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some photos of the flashes being soldered and re-soldered:

|
||||
|
||||
Flash the chip in a socket:

|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: The pictured flasher is a CH341A, but it's modified to have 3.3v logic levels
|
||||
and pull-up resistors on WP/HOLD - the unmodified one is unsafe to sue on this machine, unless
|
||||
you use a model with 3.3v flash (e.g. some of the green models). More info available
|
||||
in the [SPI flashing guide](spi.md).
