The wiki is being retired!
Documentation is now handled by the same processes we use for code: Add something to the Documentation/ directory in the coreboot repo, and it will be rendered to https://doc.coreboot.org/. Contributions welcome!
works fine with Linux, some ACPI issues with Windows needs to be fixed.
Lenovo ThinkPad T60
Both the

This table needs review. I copied the x60 table and ran through it from memory, expresscard comes to mind...

proprietary components status
- CPU Microcode (optional?)
- VGA option rom (optional): without it you will get no graphics during early boot, old kernel versions(like the one in trisquel 6) are able to initializes the intel graphic card. Note that the replacement doesn't work yet with seabios but works with grub(as a payload) or libpayload based payloads.
- EC(Embedded Controller) => you do not have to touch it(just leave it where it is)
TODO
Non-free components replacements
- Replace the non-free VGA option rom by making native graphics init work.
- Create a Native graphics<->VGA option rom.
Make backlight work without the non-free option rom.See [1] (note: untested, and will have issues)
Make backlight (Fn keys) control work with native gpu init
Note: untested.
That is, without the vga oprom. Note: reliable native graphics init does not yet exist for T60, but is theoretically easy to implement (almost identical to X60).
Based on steps taken from [2] For T60 (Intel GPU. Mine is 15" version):
sudo devmem2 0xe4361254 w 0x58BF58BE
Again this needs to be implemented properly in coreboot.
<fchmmr> I read from that address using this command: sudo devmem2 0xe4361254 w
<fchmmr> I did that on my T60 running Lenovo BIOS and get this: 0xFFFFFFFF
<fchmmr> I did that on my T60 (same one) running coreboot with vgarom and get this: 0x58BF58BE
<fchmmr> With libreboot on a T60 (when native graphics is made to work, which at the moment it doesn't) you will instead do this:
<fchmmr> sudo devmem2 0xe4361254 w 0x58BF58BE
<fchmmr> Same address, different value (for making backlight controls work on the T60/intelGPU)
Other things
- Add support for more batteries in ACPI.
- Make the wifi card and/or the laptop produce less heat.
- Finish and merge support for thinkpad_acpi linux kernel module
- Sometimes some dock USB port aren't initialized => fix that
