Libreboot

I have had zero success getting the new Libreboot updates onto a T60. I followed the updated instructions in the documentation, and (posting my L’s here), I have bricked two T60s.

I would love something that is touchscreen, slim, and comfortable to use. And fast enough to not experience lag to daily use like videos, video calls.

I did an internal flash of the 20240225 version of Libreboot onto my X60 tablet (Core 2 Duo L7400, 64-bit). I'm using Trisquel 11 as my operating system.

It's hard to beat the X60 for portability, but most of the X60s on eBay have 32-bit CPUs. Is it worth getting one these days for regular use?

Anyone here successfully seen anything other than 00 on their mPCIe POST card? I have tried it on different Thinkpads with different versions of libreboot & coreboot and yet it never display anything useful, even when system successfully boots.

I have a ThinkPad X60 tablet with libreboot installed. Just last night, most of the little icon lights below the display stopped working, including the lights for sleep mode, charger connected, battery, computer on, hard drive access, caps lock, and number lock. The only one that is on as I type this is the wifi light.

My thinkpad T440p will be coming in soon and I been considering Coreboot/Libreboot but it requirwes a usb bios programmer, there are many of these from many different sellers on Amazon, but all of them are made in China by unknown companies, can these have any malware of them ?

I'm aware that Leah *strongly discourages* using CH341a, but I understand that this is chiefly because it's voltage is 5V, whiich risks burning the 1.8V or 3.3V datalines of the devices we're librebooting.
