- It is believed that all or most T400 laptops are compatible.
- See notes about <a href="../install/t400_external.html#cpu_compatibility">CPU compatibility</a>
- for potential incompatibilities.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- There are two possible flash chip sizes for the T400: 4MiB (32Mbit) or 8MiB (64Mbit).
- This can be identified by the type of flash chip below the palmrest: 4MiB is SOIC-8, 8MiB
- is SOIC-16.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- <b>The T400 laptops come with the ME (and sometimes AMT in addition) before flashing libreboot. Libreboot disables and removes it
- by using a modified descriptor: see <a href="gm45_remove_me.html">gm45_remove_me.html</a></b> (contains notes, plus
- instructions)
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Flashing instructions can be found at <a href="../install/#flashrom">../install/#flashrom</a>

-
- <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:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li><a href="https://libreboot.org/docs/install/index.html#flashrom">https://libreboot.org/docs/install/index.html#flashrom</a></li>
- <li><a href="http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/BIOS_update_without_optical_disk">http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/BIOS_update_without_optical_disk</a></li>
- </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.

- <h3 id="hwvirt">Hardware virtualization (vt-x)</h3>
- <p>
- The T400, when run without CPU microcode updates in coreboot, currently kernel panics
- if running QEMU with vt-x enabled on 2 cores for the guest. With a single core enabled
- for the guest, the guest panics (but the host is fine). Working around this in QEMU
- might be possible; if not, software virtualization should work fine (it's just slower).
- </p>
- <p>
- On GM45 hardware (with libreboot), make sure that the <i>kvm</i> and <i>kvm_intel</i> kernel modules
- are not loaded, when using QEMU.

- The following errata datasheet from Intel might help with investigation:

- The coreboot wiki <a href="http://www.coreboot.org/Motherboard_Porting_Guide">shows</a>
- how to collect various logs useful in porting to new
- boards. Following are outputs from the T400:

-
- <ul>
- <li>
- T400 with <b>Winbond W25X64</b> flash chip (8MiB, SOIC-16)
- and Lenovo BIOS 2.02 (EC firmware 1.01):

- </ul>
- </li>

- Version of flashrom used for the external flashing/reading logs is the one that libreboot git revision c164960 uses.
