Yes, this is a known problem of board status. > So your R500 is supported by coreboot, almost certainly blobless. > coreboot's installation is identical to libreboot: you simply flash a > compiled BIOS image.

By default, coreboot will not produce a full firmware image, so one must only flash the BIOS region. With a recent enough flashrom (v1.1 onwards), it's just a matter of adding the `--ifd -i bios` arguments when flashing coreboot. Moreover, the R500 does not use the Intel GbE controller inside the southbridge, but a Broadcom PCIe NIC. Its MAC address does not reside in the flash chip, so it is not easy to change. In any case, there's documentation in coreboot: https://doc.coreboot.org/mainboard/lenovo/montevina_series.html > On Tue, Jun 16, 2020 at 11:41 AM trabajo3 via coreboot > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Hello!, I wantt to know if the Lenovo R500 has coreboot support without any > > blobs > > https://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Coreboot-4.10-Released > > Here it says that is supported > > but > > https://coreboot.org/status/board-status.html > > doesnt appear > > and in the tree also no > > > > Another question is if there is any tool like in the libreboot proyect to > > change mac address and if there is any complete video tutorial to install > > libreboot, because in youtube there are full videos about libreboot but for > > coreboot i didnt find anyone with good explanation. > > Thanks for ur time! > > Best Regards > > > > > > Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. > > > > _______________________________________________ > > coreboot mailing list -- [email protected] > > To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] > _______________________________________________ > coreboot mailing list -- [email protected] > To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Regards, Angel _______________________________________________ coreboot mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
