From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I never thought to get this detail answer from lemmy user. You are real dark magician! Thank you so much.. I just surprised when check my inbox and got this + easy to understand for inexperience like me in Libreboot process. The only info I have right now for L-booting x200s is this. But your tips here are clearly make L-booting x200s looks so easy and make it possible as fast as I can.

do not compile libreboot with raspberry pi nor any sbc you’re using (use real x86 computer)

Can you give me an example for what real x86 computer you used or other best option? I'm still confused for the keyword in search engine. Still.. thank you so much for this guidance from my soul. It looks like overreacted, but this little step stone is very important for me to start..

I'm glad my answer satisfied you :)

  • Raspberry Pi = arm based
  • any regular computer/laptop you own = x86 based

So any computer or laptop which you have will work just fine. No matter how old it it is.

You can also compile the rom with RasPi but for some unknown reason it caused me unworking rom even it didn't give aby errors. I contacted the developer and he said I should never compile anything with RasPi :D

Yesss.. satisfied than what I expected :D

So I still need Beaglebone Black, connect it with x86 based laptop, and run the script on x86 laptop right? As the standard requirement for L-booting I read in official guide..

Gladly, I don't have and don't wanna buy RasPi because the price is insane in my country (Indonesian), but other peripherals like BB are still on normal price. Have you any recommended using other alternatives than Beaglebone Black? :)

I'm sorry to ask many noob questions to you, because I just found the one who make this possibly happen as I'm starting losing hope for tinkering this, and don't wanna risk to brick that too cause my poor knowledge and preparing things. Still.. bless you sir..
