Hi everyone. I've some questions about libreboot. As I said in the Spanish
forum, I got a Thinkpad T400 and, of course, I want to flash it Libreboot.
The problem is that I don't have a BeagleBone Black, but a friend has a
Banana Pi. As banana pi is based on Raspberry Pi, I thought that this guide
https://github.com/bibanon/Coreboot-ThinkPads/wiki/X200-X201-Hardware-Flashing-with-Raspeberry-Pi
would work. The guide is for X200, but it is very alike to the T400.
For me it looks pretty easy, but my concern is the following: Are the pin
jumper cables different, in terms of electronic stuff, when they are
different in color? (the external cables like this ones) In the guide they
use blue cables, all of them are the same color. I've an ATX power source
that I do not use, can I use it's cables? And how do I take them out?
And, about the external power supply, how will I know if it is necessary? In
libreboot's website they use one for the BBB
https://libreboot.org/docs/install/bbb_setup.html and in the GitHub guide in
the note it says The raspberry pi 3.3V rail should be sufficient to power the
chip during flashing, so no external power supply should be required;
however, at the time of writing that has only been tested and confirmed for
one chip, the MX25L6405D. so in case I need power supply, I'll need a
male-female cable, right? and in what pin of the BPI do I have to connect it?
Here are the BPI pins
I know they are many questions, but anyway, thanks in advance!
