minus-squareExtremeUnicorn@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 days agoNot wanting to knock you, but Libreboot on a T480 is fake. There’s nothing “libre” about it. Only until Ivy Bridge are you able to remove FSP, MRC and most of the Intel ME code. They also don’t have grub-only builds anymore, so security went to shit. Might aswell just build coreboot at that point.
minus-squaredurinn@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 days agohttps://libreboot.org/docs/install/t480.html It’s a significant improvement to me that it’s open source and that - according to the above description - Intel ME is indeed removed. Have you flashed Libreboot on a T480, then taken a dump of the chip and confirmed that Intel code is still on there? I also don’t understand why I would need grub when I use systemd’s bootloader. I only want to replace the BIOS.
