Re: [coreboot] PS/2 Mouse on KGPE-D16
Not a silly question: # CONFIG_DRIVERS_PS2_KEYBOARD is not set but the PS/2 keyboard works. Is that setting essential for a mouse to function?

[coreboot] PS/2 Mouse on KGPE-D16
Has anybody had any success using a PS/2 mouse on the KGPE-D16? I tried a few PS/2 compatible USB mice, along with an adaptor, without success and thought that the mice might be to blame but I've just confirmed a native PS/2 mouse doesn't seem to work either. I've tried booting directly from SeaBIOS and also with GRUB2 as a secondary and no combination I try seems to work. -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org https://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
Re: [coreboot] Crowdfunding Status for KGPE-D16 BMC Port Offer
That's great news. I notice that the goal amounts for the serial console access and thermal management have increased.

Re: [coreboot] Where to get ME image/flash descriptors for the x220?
There's a lot of useful info here relating to X230 ECs, which may help. Mostly applicable to the X220 too. https://github.com/hamishcoleman/thinkpad-ec On Sun, 5 Mar 2017, at 14:31, qma ster wrote: > It should be possible to reflash EC internal firmware through a > keyboard port, - or maybe through some other debug port that may or > may not be soldered by default...

Re: [coreboot] Where do I get cables that can fit a SOIC8 clip?
If 10cm is short enough for your application, they are readily available on Ebay under "Dupont ribbon". Quality varies wildly though.
