Hi everyone
Since here are the most skilled professions I've seeing I believe someone can help me.
I have a Lenovo x230, and I'll would like to install coreboot in it to start to understand how it works, and in future start to help the community, as soon as I have the knowledge for that.
Last week I did a test that makes my progress stop.
Just for fun, and to check how the commercial bios works, I connected a postcard on the wireless slot (as far as I know this is a pcie slot). I already did that with other notebooks I have and nothing wrong happened.
The problem is that this time, with this x230, after I connected the postcard and turned the system on, the system stopped to boot. And the post card does not stop at a specific post code. What happens now, is that every time I turn the system on, the battery led blinks 3 times, being two blinks followed by a 1 second stop and after that the last blink, and the system reboots.
The post card I'm using is this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3in1-Mini-PCI-E-PCI-LPC-Tester-PC-Desktop-Diagnosti...
So my questions are:
-Does someone believe this postcard could have bricked the system? (Why?) -Any idea about how to solve that?
My next test will be to write a coreboot build at this system using buspirate, but since I'll only have time for this next week, I would like to have some things to think about, this is why I sent this e-mail before doing the coreboot flash test.
Any comment will be helpful.
Thanks and Regards Rafael R. Machado
