As I am on Social Security and can not afford to purchase the Insurgo Privacy Beast, I was trying to emulate what the Insurgo on my own.
I bought a refurb Lenovo X-230 with I5 processor and 4 GB RAM, 340 GB Spinning hard drive. I have upgraded the RAM to 16 GB, (MICRON CT2K102464BF186D 16GB KIT 8GBX2 PC3-14900 1866, which is marked as Crucial - Germany) Laptop sees the RAM, Boots, I have not run extensive memory tests. And the same WiFi adapter as Insurgo Privacy Beast uses: (Atheros AR9832 AR5BHB116. Model: AR9832 AR5BHB116. 1 x Atheros AR9832 AR5BHB116 Wireless Card. Standard Wireless: 801.11 a/b/g/n. Russia,Brazil,Chile,New Zealand,Mexico,South Africa,Asia) I am now looking for a plan to EE-PROM (flash core boot) onto it. I bought a PROM Organizer SOIC8 SOP8 Flash Chip IC Test Clips Socket Adpter Programmer BIOS + CH341A 24 25 Series EEPROM Flash BIOS USB Programmer Module (Double Cl <https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R5LPTYM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1> I now read I will need a Pomona Clip: Test Clip SOIC8 Pomona 5250. Which will have to wait until next month to afford. However, I see the instructions of what of I am about to attempt to be very detailed, and I am looking for about of guidance from someone who has recently done this thing. What looks to be one of my sources of a check list is: https://www.chucknemeth.com/flash-lenovo-x230-coreboot/ Then what I can find on git hub. I had hoped to install both Core Boot and Heads, and I am not sure if that is so easy for someone like me. I have not read all that yet, but wanted to be clear on the possible upgrades, fixes to documentation that should have occurred. I am supposing that I will need to be careful choose the correct script for a core I5. Truthfully this EE-PROM of Core Boot is more than I wanted to learn how to do. All this makes me appreciate how much Insurgo does to get their version working. Anyway, I thought I would see if anyone has any recent experience with this that might be different than all the documentation that is already available.
