Hi. An update for the future explorers of the thread.
I tried flashing X230 with the following ROMs: - coreboot + vendor ME, - coreboot + cleaned ME, - coreboot + cleaned trimmed ME with relocated FPTR (ROMB + BUP). I expected WoL power trick to stop working with the second ROM, but, surprisingly, it still works. Makes me really wonder what function ME's NFTP has, what code actually implements WoL, and where is the bit that toggles it then? By the way, with the last ROM IFB + GBE + cleaned relocated ME use less than 100K of flash out of the available 12M (the rest is filled with 0xff and coreboot). 11.9M is a lot of space to play with. That's more flash than my router has and I fit Linux + sbase + ubase + stripped-down Emacs there, just saying :) Also, coreboot with cleaned ME doesn't modify the flash from the second boot on (it writes memory training results on the first boot), which, finally, feels like a sane state of things (i.e. the machine can now do an unlimited number of reboots without wearing-out the flash).
