title: KGPE-D16 external flashing instructions
x-toc-enable: true
...
These will be re-added to Libreboot at a later date, once proper testing
has been done.
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.*
For more general information about this board, refer to
[../hardware/kgpe-d16.md](../hardware/kgpe-d16.md).
TODO: show photos here, and other info.
External programmer
===================
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.
