Hi coreboot list,
I have been attempting to use a raspberry pi for spi flashing and when I use the 3.3v pin the raspberry pi doesn't power up as the chip draws too much power through the 3.3v pin for the raspberry pi to also run. I am powering the RPi through micro-USB, either connected to wall outlet or another computer.
What is your recommended method for powering the chip and RPi?
Looking online [1] some folks recommend using laptop AC adapter + wake-on-lan (and not using the VCC/3.3v pin), but I'm not sure that's a dependable strategy because I don't know if coreboot has WoL functionality for the x230 should I want to reflash the chip [2].
Advice/thoughts appreciated, and let me know if there's a better place to ask this question.
FYI this is the chip I am trying to program: [3]
Thanks, Michael
