which EC do you mean? why would it be irritated?
I mean the EC firmware of the x220, for keyboard, power management and battery, etc. Or is it located on a different chip? I see, it's not part of the flash chip layout.
Keyboard and power management tends to be split into two on Thinkpads, but in any case yes, those controllers generally either have separate flash for firmware or are ASICs without firmware.
Yes, you are right, but the warning sounds so strange. ;-)
It originates from good intentions of course, "better safe than sorry", but I think it is a bug to display it when it actually does not apply.
Flashrom contains imprecise blanket statements.
Good to know
Flashrom could be improved to not display some of them when they are known not to apply, such as in your case, but there are other cases where flashrom can't really know if the warning is needed or not. That's more difficult.
Be careful, and always have a way to recover from a non-working image.
An external SPI Flasher and a working image should be one way.
Yep - excellent!
BTW: USB 3.0 is working, but one can't boot it via SeaBIOS.
Maybe send a message to the SeaBIOS mailing list about that. I don't know if that is actually expected to work. Sorry.
