-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:

-
-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).

+Automate testing
+================
+
+Even though there's lots of error handling, it's better to be paranoid than
+brick users' machines.
+
+Unit tests
+----------
+
+- Build time or separate?
+- me_cleaner -c: checks that ime was inserted and has valid signatures
+
+CI
+--
+
+Preferably self-hosted. Run tests for every commit. There could be tests of
+different size, and even a periodic nightly release could be done.
+
+Integrating this with an automated test stand would also be doable. At the
+very least, it would assure that the ROM images boot successfully.
+
+Board status
+============
+
+As the number of ports grows, it becomes harder to keep track of what works.
+Let's build a machine-readable repo documenting every release (or commit)
+on every board. What features/payloads work, maybe include errata text field.
+A HTML report could also be generated and published online.
+
+On top of this, an easy to use installer could be developed. It would know
+to not install an unbootable (broken) ROM, and would inform users about any
+known problems and have meaningful options.
