Hey everyone, currently I working on a x220 to flash coreboot onto it. I notice that my x220 has a current BIOS version from 2011 (1.24 UEFI/BIOS and 1.13 ECP).
Within the change-log[0] variates updates and fixes are stated. Including changes to the ME engine. Within many documentation part of coreboot, it's stated, that the ME part can't be written. Here my question: Should I update the BIOS to the latest release before flashing coreboot onto it? There is for example this note: > If the UEFI BIOS has been updated to version 1.43 or higher, it is no longer > able to roll back to the version before 1.43 for security improvement. Could this cause problems? For example the CVE-2017-5715 (Spectre) would be fixed. I expect them to run role out the microcode update from Intel... so might be no problem to coreboot, right? best regards, akendo [0]https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles/8duj29us.txt
