+
+ <p>
+ It is recommended that you update to the latest EC firmware version.
+ The <a href="https://libreboot.org/faq/#firmware-ec">EC firmware</a>
+ is separate from libreboot, so we don't actually provide that, but
+ if you still have Lenovo BIOS then you can just run the Lenovo BIOS
+ update utility, which will update both the BIOS and EC version.
+ See:

+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ NOTE: this can only be done when you are using Lenovo BIOS. How to
+ update the EC firmware while running libreboot is unknown.
+ Libreboot only replaces the BIOS firmware, not EC.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Updated EC firmware has several advantages e.g.
+ bettery battery handling.
