[coreboot] T430: Flashing using plug contacts instead of fully disassembling the laptop

[Daniel Kulesz]

Hi,

I plan to flash a Thinkpad T430. According to an article in the german "golem.de" magazine [1] accessing the flash via SPI is possible by connecting the wires from the SPI flasher to plug contacts on the upper side of the board - without disassembling the whole device. Unfortunately, I was unable to find the details regarding these contacts neither in the coreboot docs nor anywhere else. Did I look in the wrong places or is this simply not publically documented?

Cheers, Daniel
