ezpi4me

th a Raspberry Pi [1]. You don't really have to have a breadboard to flash the Chromebooks like you do with the Thinkpad in the article. Also, the cool thing about it is that it prepares the image on your x86 computer so you literally don't have to configure the pi and get/compile stuff afterwards. I didn't know that the X200 needs a patch. I will integrate the x200 support into ezpi4ME so people don't have to manually patch and wait for it to compile on the Pi. 1: github.com/htruong/EzPi4ME Edit: I noticed OP has a blog post complaining about Acer 720s having problems. It hasn't happened to me, at least with MrChromebox's firmware. I did have problem with John Lewis' firmware builds, though.

dividual to open a laptop, risk bricking by fiddling with a flash chip. I put a lot of thoughts in it before I decided to release this. To me personally, it's more of a symbolism/a protest than it's practical. The project is the inner me saying, maybe instead of complaining, I'd have to get up my butt and do a tiny thing to help the cause I believe in. I despise the practice of shoving mandatory opaque, backdoor binary blobs to their hardware -- and incentivizing people from saying their shitty binary blobs have security problems by offering hackers/security researchers a shitload of money so they shut up and cooperate. What it entails is that what can be bought by a lot of money from Intel can be bought by even more money from other people. It really rustles my jimmies. We'd have to start somewhere. Perhaps a year from now, someone will figure out an even easier, better way to achieve the same result. Or perhaps, it will be easy enough to the point that some guys on eBay/Amazon/brick and mortar stores will use my software to clean the ME from laptops they sell en-masse as a factor of differentiation. I hope it will be another step up in terms of usability and adoption from me_cleaner. With that hope, I'm just donating a couple of sleepless nights of my life working on a software that might jeopardize my career and make a lot of people upset. But fuck all that, I'm doing it anyway, for once I can say I'm the change that I want to see. -- 1: Technically, it's just a script to create a distro based on raspbian lite, so everything can be inspected. That is on purpose because I don't want to advocate replacing the 3MB Intel ME blob with jimmies' blob, which is a 2GB image that you run on your Pi and program your computer's UEFI firmware/BIOS. 2: https://github.com/htruong/ezpi4me/
