This guide can also be +followed (adapted) if you brick your R400, to know how to recover. + +Before following this section, please make sure to setup your libreboot +ROM properly first. Although ROM images are provided pre-built in +libreboot, there are some modifications that you need to make to the one +you chose before flashing.

It has been reported that the docking +station for this laptop has a serial port, so it might be possible to +use that instead. + +A note about CPUs +================= + +[ThinkWiki](http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:R400) has a list of +CPUs for this system. The Core 2 Duo P8400 and P8600 are believed to +work in libreboot. The Core 2 Duo T9600 was confirmed to work, so the +T9400 probably also works. *The Core 2 Duo T5870/5670 and Celeron M +575/585 are untested!* + +Quad-core CPUs +-------------- + +Incompatible. Do not use. + +A note about GPUs +================= + +Some models have an Intel GPU, while others have both an ATI and an +Intel GPU; this is referred to as "Dual Graphics" (previously +"switchable graphics"). In the *BIOS setup* program for lenovobios, +you can specify that the system will use one or the other (but not +both). + +Libreboot is known to work on systems with only the Intel GPU, using +native graphics initialization. On systems with switchable graphics, the +Intel GPU is used and the ATI GPU is disabled, so native graphics +initialization works all the same. + +CPU paste required +================== + +See [\#paste](#paste). + +Flash chip size {#flashchips} +=============== + +Use this to find out: + + # flashrom -p internal + +MAC address {#macaddress} +=========== + +Refer to [mac\_address.md](../hardware/mac_address.md). + +Initial BBB configuration +========================= + +Refer to [bbb\_setup.md](bbb_setup.md) for how to setup the BBB for +flashing. + +The following shows how to connect clip to the BBB (on the P9 header), +for SOIC-16 (clip: Pomona 5252): + + POMONA 5252 (correlate with the BBB guide) + === ethernet jack and VGA port ==== + NC - - 21 + 1 - - 17 + NC - - NC + NC - - NC + NC - - NC + NC - - NC + 18 - - 3.3V (PSU) + 22 - - NC - this is pin 1 on the flash chip + === SATA port === + This is how you will connect.

Other guides online detail +the proper application procedure. + +Wifi +==== + +The R400 typically comes with an Intel wifi chipset, which does not work +without proprietary software. For a list of wifi chipsets that work +without proprietary software, see +[../hardware/\#recommended\_wifi](../hardware/#recommended_wifi). + +Some R400 laptops might come with an Atheros chipset, but this is +802.11g only. + +It is recommended that you install a new wifi chipset. This can only be +done after installing libreboot, because the original firmware has a +whitelist of approved chips, and it will refuse to boot if you use an +'unauthorized' wifi card. + +The following photos show an Atheros AR5B95 being installed, to replace +the Intel chip that this R400 came with:\ +  + +WWAN +==== + +If you have a WWAN/3G card and/or sim card reader, remove them +permanently. The WWAN-3G card has proprietary firmware inside; the +technology is identical to what is used in mobile phones, so it can also +track your movements. + +Not to be confused with wifi (wifi is fine). + +Memory +====== + +You need DDR3 SODIMM PC3-8500 RAM installed, in matching pairs +(speed/size). Non-matching pairs won't work. You can also install a +single module (meaning, one of the slots will be empty) in slot 0. + +Make sure that the RAM you buy is the 2Rx8 density. + +[This page](http://www.forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?p=760721) might +be useful for RAM compatibility info (note: coreboot raminit is +different, so this page might be BS) + +The following photo shows 8GiB (2x4GiB) of RAM installed:\ + + +Boot it! +-------- + +You should see something like this: + +  + +Now [install GNU+Linux](../gnulinux/). + +Copyright © 2014, 2015 Leah Rowe <info@minifree.org>\ +Copyright © 2018 Nico Rikken <nico@nicorikken.eu>\ + +Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document +under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License Version 1.3 or any later +version published by the Free Software Foundation +with no Invariant Sections, no Front Cover Texts, and no Back Cover Texts. +A copy of this license is found in [../fdl-1.3.md](../fdl-1.3.md) |
