Here are some of the guides I used. They're for the x230, but the x230 is
similar enough to the t430 that a lot of stuff should be the same or similar.
YMMV, though, as I'm currently struggling to get coreboot working on my T530
A video fully explaining coreboot for an x230:

The coreboot wiki is the best resource, though it seems to be down as of this
post.
https://www.coreboot.org/Board:lenovo/x230
This guide looks fairly informative for the T430:

I strongly recommend buying a CH341A, some short jumper wires, and a pomona
SOIC8 (5250) clip for this. A raspberry pi will work for flashing, but in my
experience it is slow, and in some cases very unreliable, which could mean the
difference between a laptop and a brick.
