Progress on Librebooted T400 with Advanced Dock 2503

/

Hello there again!

I had to ditch my permanently-managed Chromebook C201 for a replacement, since there seemed there was nothing I could do. The replacement was $20 and it looks like I’ll actually be able to Libreboot that one!

In other news, I’ll be spinning up a Linode droplet soon to see if I can host a Joplin instance and connect to it with my phones. I also have made progress on the T400 project.

After failing to flash Libreboot roms to the hardware various times, as well as physically damaging another W500 by overextending the motherboard, I ended up buying a pre-Librebooted unit from a friend, with the Atheros wifi card installed, so I wouldn’t have to worry about it.

Regarding getting the Advanced Dock 2503 working….it seems a bit hit or miss now

I’ll detail more in the dedicated page for it, but MX Linux was installed and I succesfully got it booted up, but some other problems have come up….

More info on the status of my 2019 projects, here. (also in Projects dropdown “Progress”)

I also posted on a forum my status of this project, here.

I’ll also be receiving a Librem 5 and a Pinebook Pro either by the end of this year, or sometime early next year! Hope you enjoyed this update. Peace!
