Thank you kindly. I have now compiled the BIOS. Next challenge is how to get flashrom to flash it. The wiki shows flashrom support.
Which wiki and page please?
The Vendor BIOS prevents flashing with flashrom. (In fact it doesn't allow the SPI opcodes necessary to detect, erase and write the Flash). So you have to flash it either with an external programmer, or reverse engineer how the Phoenix BIOS protection can be circumvented.
Yes. The wiki is wrong I'm afraid, the ThinkPads aren't currently supported by flashrom. (Now that's ironic! coreboot support before flashrom! :)
