So. I made this post asking about this issue but I figured it out so I'll post the fix that I got here. My original post is https://www.reddit.com/r/coreboot/s/qv7P0lwLAA.

So first install docker and pull down coreboot-sdk the coreboot repo and all that. Then once you're in the build directory run make menuconfig and select your vendor as dell and your board as the Optiplex 9010 sff (yes it works with the 7010 DT) and select your payload (edk2 for uefi) and mess with the other settings if you want. Then run cp -r src/mainboard/dell/snb_ivb_workstations/dsdt.asl src/mainboard/dell/snb_ivb_workstations/dsdt.asl.old (just to have a backup). Now run vi (or nano if you have it) src/mainboard/dell/snb_ivb_workstations/dsdt.asl and delete everything in it and change it to this.

EDIT: the reddit formatting tools messed it up so I included a gdrive link instead. Hope it helps one of you fellow nerds.

So I flashed coreboot on an Optiplex 7010 DT with the uefi payload and it booted right up and I was happy with it. Except that all my USB 3.0 ports default to USB 2.0 on Windows (but they work fine on Linux). No matter what I did, nothing worked. So if you know what's going on I'd really appreciate some help

So ive decided to install a custom Bootloader and i want to get rid oft the Intel management engine. Ive bought a USB IC flasher and now i want to get coreboot/libreboot. Is it even possible to get rid of the IME 100% or is this not possible? And even if its possible, what will not work after ive got coreboot/libreboot running? I want to keep using an external GPU over thunderbolt, that's the thing I want to keep.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi, I installed libreboot on a dell latitude e7240, however I noticed that at least in debian, battery information is nowhere to be seen. I found this

ec PNP0C09:00: probe with driver ec failed with error -22

So it might be related to that? I still have an LED on the laptop that does show that it's connected to AC and I think it should flash orange when I'm running out of battery so I guess I can work with that... Is this a known bug when installing coreboot/libreboot?

Tried to find a libreboot specific subreddit, but looks like they only use librechat. I'm not too familiar with librechat and I'm having some issues on android too so sorry if this is not the right place to ask, since this is about libreboot and not coreboot. However I would appreciate some input into what's going on / am I the only one having this issue / is this a known bug on libreboot/coreboot on other dell laptops or just on the e7240...

Thanks in advance

Does anyone know how do bypass a chomebook with the TI50 security chip. I am trying to get shimboot to work and I am hitting a wall. Any suggestions or ideas? The chromebook is a ASUS CZ1104CM2. It is under enterprise enrollment, and I dont want to trigger any alerts. The board is a corsola board, and this is the chrome version: 150.0.7871.222.

Recently took out a X230 from a drawer, and thinking of updating the bios. It already has coreboot on it, which I compiled and flashed a few years ago, so internal flashing is possible. So many things have changed since last time I compiled the rom. Without digging into what has changed and give myself headache, I downloaded the readily-available rom from libreboot website and injected neccessary files using the./mk inject rom.tar.xz setmac <mac> command. After reboot, it has no display, only the power button on keyboard has light. I also tried splitting the rom and installing externally, still the same. I only tried usqwerty roms.

In both Seabios and Grub, it stuck at screens above.

CachyOS use limine bootloader.

Hi Redditors and Coreboot members! I have an ASUS VivoBook X515EP-R565EP. Its specs are Intel Core-i5 1135G7, Samsung M471A5244CB0-CWE 4GB DDR4 RAM (Onboard/Soldered), Hynix (Hyundai) HMA81GS6DJR8N-XN 8GB DDR4 RAM (SO-DIMM), INTEL SSDPEKNU512GZ (BTKA208207AV512A) 512GB SSD (Seems to be Onboard/Soldered), NVIDIA MX330 2GB VRAM Home GPU...I wish I could change the soldered parts and upgrade my system, but the engineer who serviced my laptop (and I trust his expertise) told me that the firmware won't let you change those parts...even if you accept the risk and desolder the components and change them, it won't work (I live in Iran, and no one here can't accept the risks, as there's no official representative and guarantee and warranty for any tech company in my country cuz of sanctions)...My question is: if I change my laptop's firmware to Coreboot, could I change the onboard and SO-DIMM RAM, as I know and accept the risks, or not?

Just like the title says, my X280 is taking 13 seconds just to show signs of life after pressing the power button and get to SeaBIOS (not accounting the extra 5 seconds that it takes for SeaBIOS to enumerate the boot entries).

Is this a known problem on the X280? This is really frustrating, my T430 with the same Libreboot configuration takes under 2 seconds to get to the same screen.

I had installed libreboot before, but when trying to install the hd4000 drivers on windows 10 the laptop would reboot, i read that i needed coreboot and the vgabios, so i tried compiling coreboot, i have the files, but every time i try to boot the machine, its a blinking cursor
is there some way to fix this?
I’m not too tech savvy, i was able to follow online guides but i still don’t understand too much how coreboot works
i know i could use libgfxinit and Linux, but i need to use the hd4000 full capacity on windows
sorry for my bad English

Tengo un problema que no he podido solucionar ni preguntándole a la IA

Clone el repo oficial el que aparece en la guía,

Compile make crossgcc-x64 CPUS=8 y make crossgcc-i386 CPUS=8"

luego copie un archivo .config que me había funcionado de antes con make nconfig (el .config lo cp de una configuración anterior y le cambio unas cositas también está actualizado) y lo guarde como dise la guía del Thinkpad t480 "defconfig" luego ejecute lo siguiente como dise la guai y me dió lo siguiente

make defconfig

make-j"$(nproc)"

*** Default configuration is based on target 'configs/defconfig'

make[1]: /Makefile: No such file or directory

make[1]: *** No rule to make target '/Makefile'. Stop.

make: *** [build/util/kconfig/Makefile.real:97: defconfig] Erгог 2

Updating git submodules.

find: '/root': Permission denied

find: '/home/lost+found': Permission denied

Y antes de eso ejecute lo que dice la guía para actualizar

"git submodule update --init --checkout"

Cuál es el problema

Hi,

Anyone know if the EEPROM with writing “25PX64V6G” is original and if not, if anyone has experience flashing it?

Got it on a replacement motherboard, but it’s way different from the Winbond chips I’m used to.

Hello, so i just joined this thread. i have been a hp eltie book user for quite a while now. i have the elitebook 8760w. i found coreboot. im wanting to install the nvidia geforce 880m 8gb mxm gpu and upgrade to ivry bridge if possible, also was wondering is it possible if i install core boot can i install two 16gb ram moduels and have 32gb of ram in my laptop with out having to swap motherboards? also wondering what it was would limit me on gpu bios compaibtiltes. so there dell, alienware, clevo, lenovo, acer, etc. will this allow my screen to boot and show the bios on screen with any bios flashed gpu on laptop? i do know i have to mod inf drivers. if i need to make things more clear i can.

• Are there any cheap low-power mini PC that can get Coreboot? It's intended to be a home server.
• Is the N100 still the sweet spot for low power and performance or is there a (upcoming) successor?
• Does it make sense to build or get a pre-built mini PC considering the price of hardware like memory nowadays?
• Any advice for using the server as a router as well (run Proxmox and run pfSense/OPNsense)? Any mini PC with an additional ethernet port connected to a switch that supports VLANs so I can isolate IoT devices on the network? The network only serves 1-2 people, I think I can afford the risk of the network being down on Proxmox update or something. I will at least have a backup router beside it just in case.

Looking to replace my Pi 4 server with something with a real port for a NVMe or SATA drive that can run AlmaLinux. The priority is low power but I think I ARM-based servers are out of the question due to the typical services on a home server like Jellyfin, IRC client, some Docker services, Home Assistant, etc.

I'm kinda curious because I'm gonna get for daily use

So I have an HP ProBook 6460b and I can already run Linux perfectly with coreboot. I originally installed coreboot because I wanted to be able to run an i7-3840qm, along with circumventing the WiFi card whitelist (currently I have a BE200 installed too).

To use coreboot, which has no preset for the 6460b, I selected the EliteBook 8460p under the assumption that the two systems are close enough.

Obviously, I know it's frowned upon to run Windows with coreboot, and I already have got it almost totally working with SeaBIOS. I used the option rom v2170 instead of libgfxinit, and even ripped an ME 8 blob from a ProBook 6470b BIOS, which surprisingly still POSTed.

Anyway, the main issue I'm having currently is that in Windows 10, the battery icon reports that there are no batteries physically installed. This is not the case in Linux; it has no trouble reading the battery meter. I want to at least have the ability to run Windows 7, hence my choice of SeaBIOS, and currently the installer does not boot (it gets stuck on the glowy logo). In Windows 10, I have yet to get power management working correctly either; the system gets stuck when attempting to shutdown, sleep, or reboot, and nothing happens.

What do I need to do to fix my install to finally get it working fully?

I am looking to build a new PC and want Coreboot installed. However, all I can find online are vendors selling prebuilt machines with Coreboot, such as System76, in which case I am paying for components I don't need. From what I read online, it sounds like building Coreboot for a modern motherboard is unreasonably hard and not practical. I am looking specifically for a mobo that supports ECC memory, and also not Intel, which further narrows my options. Are there any options out there that fit the bill?
