[coreboot] EC problem in X200s?

Hi Iru,

Be aware that there are different EC versions.
One should therefore upgrade the BIOS/EC (one process) to the latest version
before flashing core/libreboot.
EC updates are known to fix bugs and also to improve battery handling.

Can you please post the output of:
cat /proc/asound/cards

You can still upgrade the EC, but it's much work.
You'd have to flash an older BIOS version with flashrom , then upgrade with the
regular stock ISOs to latest BIOS/EC version [0], which will update also the EC
firmware, and then reflash libreboot.

Some user on #libreboot reported that with an X200 Tablet (similar hardware)
and EC v1.06 he had *not* this issue.
