# coreboot-x230
pre-built coreboot images and documentation on how to flash them for the Thinkpad X230
These images:
* only support Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3320M CPU @ 2.60GHz
* include Lenovo's proprietary VGA BIOS ROM. (if it might not be needed anymore, I'm happy for hints)
* include Intel's proprietary microcode update binary.
These images
* include [SeaBIOS](https://seabios.org/SeaBIOS) as coreboot payload, for maximum compatibility.
* are meant to be [flashed externally](#how-to-flash)
* are compatible with Windows and Linux
