[coreboot] How to flash Coreboot on a Thinkpad T430s

[Dima Ursu]

The "s" series are quite finiky when flashing; I flashes recently a T400s, so I'd assume your laptop also has a WSON8 chip. The pinout and the flashing procedure is the same;  you only need to solder thin wires to the chip - there is no clip available for them. I'd suggest you also tape the raspberry and the T430s boards together  - if the boards move around, there's a high risk you will rip the pads from the motheboard/chip.
