*Libreboot T480 and Libreboot 3050 coming soon* on minifree.org/ - they are the ThinkPad T480 and Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro, with Libreboot pre-installed.

I've now discontinued *every* computer product currently sold on minifree.org:

* Libreboot T440p/X230/W541 (T480 to replace them)
* Libreboot 9020SFF (3050 to replace it)

Libreboot is the free/opensource BIOS replacement I maintain:

libreboot.org/

Working on current orders first; new products to launch within a few days.

@libreleah

Dang, I remember when Libreboot didn't support anything past a Core 2 Duo.

So nice!!! <3

P.S., Does flashrom work within for updating , or do I need to use a linux boot usb? This is for my X200. Thanks :D

@RL_Dane Yes, you can use flashrom, which is in OpenBSD ports, or compile the newer flashprog.

To use flashrom/flashprog, first you boot boot OpenBSD with kern.securelevel=-1

See: man.openbsd.org/securelevel

Libreboot recommends flashprog these days, which is a modern fork of flashrom lead by Nico Huber, though you can still use flashrom if you wish.

man.openbsd.orgsecurelevel(7) - OpenBSD manual pages

@RL_Dane I should note that building lbmk in OpenBSD is currently untested and assumed broken; certain utilities handled by lbmk may still compile, so for example it may be possible to use the ./mk inject command, though the latter is not required on X200 images anyway (no additional vendor files needed).

Simply running flashprog is supported in BSD however. I have BSD lbmk testing on my long-term TODO plans; perhaps this will be covered in my next audit (expected to begin in early 2025).
