Thank you very much.

So, after having made clear the corresponding points do you think that the following hardware will be sufficient to flash the coreboot/SeaBIOS ROM to the chip of my ThinkPad X220 (notebook version, not tablet version):

Raspberry Pi with keyboard and screen
Pomona or SOIC8 programming clip
8 jumper wires/dupont wires that fit the clip 10 to 20 cm each
PSUs to power everything

You're lucky. The X220 is a rather easy target.

10 to 20cm works well. Sometimes shorter is better, but the X220
shouldn't make you any trouble. So I'd rather choose cables that
don't make handling of the clip too inconvenient.
