Coreboot / Thinkpad X220

Plan to partially liberate our many Thinkpad X220 laptops with coreboot for maximum fun.

Current Progress:

• Images Dumped
• SOIC8 test clip ordered
• flashrom toolchain built (raspberry pi + test clip)
• Coreboot compiled and configured for X220.
• Desolder OEM 8MB EEPROM and solder the 16MB EEPROM.
• Emulate coreboot rom (get a dev env up)
• Write coreboot rom to 16MB eeprom

Next:

• Get VGA working?
• Do further development by flashing internally.

Raspberry Cloud

A set of Raspberry Pi computers connected to the space.

Current Plan:

• Manage 7 raspberry pi computers with Salt Stack
• Destroy (redeploy clean) each computer automatically on a weekly rotation
• Name the computer after the day it gets destroyed
• Accessible to anyone that has registered a SSH key in Noisebridge's meatspace.
• All persons are expected to have sudo access to the servers they are using.
• All persons may not have access to all servers.
