pre-builtcoreboot images with an easyinstallation process

Skulls makes it easy to install anunlocked,up-to-date andeasy to usecoreboot-based BIOS on your laptop.

• unlocked: software update after first-time flashing / no restrictions for connected hardware
• easy to use: SeaBIOS - simply a boot menu, compatible with Windows and Linux
• up to date: Frequently a new image with the latest versions of all components

• Lenovo Thinkpad X230
• Lenovo Thinkpad X230T
• Lenovo Thinkpad T430
• Lenovo Thinkpad T530
• Lenovo Thinkpad W530
• Lenovo Thinkpad T440p

Either when

• There is a new SeaBIOS release,
• There is a new Intel microcode release (for our CPU model),
• There is new coreboot development that affects us, or
• We change the config

• Everything necessary tobuild coreboot is included here
• When doing a release, we always try to upload to coreboot'sboard status project
• If we add out-of-tree patches, we alwayspost them for review upstream
• The scripts to build reproducibly are based onthesescripts that use thecoreboot-sdk.

We aim to be the easiest possible coreboot distribution - bothto install and to use. And since our flash image is unlocked to enablesoftware updates, it's easy to move to alternative systems from it:

• Heads - a coreboot distributionwith pre-built (or reproducibly buildable) flash images (for the X230 and others). Headsincludes Linux, with tools to create a trusted boot chain using your GPG keyand the TPM.
• libreboot - a coreboot distribution with pre-builtimage releases. Supports a lot of devices these days, including most ofwhat Skulls supports.

• Mayan EDMS
