###General
For flashing see this [guide](https://libreboot.org/docs/install/x200_external.html) for a general idea, however each system has their own chip configuration which differs a little.
-For installing an OS on Libreboot use these [guides](https://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/).
+When installing an OS on a Libreboot (/Coreboot) system, use these [guides](https://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/).
-When installing Debian I used [this guide](https://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/encrypted_debian.html) in particular, while also encrypting /boot (named boot, size a couple of hundreds MB). This guide uses LUKS->LVM->Partitions, thus everything is encrypted. You don't need to install GRUB since it is already on the libreboot ROM (if you're using the GRUB payload), however, using a local GRUB makes it possible to [change GRUB config](https://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/grub_cbfs.html) without reflashing ROM. But reflashing ROM can be done in the OS.
-If you don't encrypt /boot the default GRUB-scripts works better, i e it boots automatically.

* RAM is sensitive, less is more likely to work. See [coreboot wiki](https://www.coreboot.org/Board:asus/kgpe-d16) for working configurations
- * Use 62xx-series CPUs, because Libreboot does not update (proprietary) microcode. (See [Libreboot](https://libreboot.org/docs/hardware/kgpe-d16.html))
+ * Use 62xx-series CPUs, because Libreboot does not update (proprietary) microcode. However, this should be up to you. (See [Libreboot](https://libreboot.org/docs/hardware/kgpe-d16.html))
* Internal GPU works (for text mode only), note the hardware switch (see motherboard manual)
- * Use PS/2 keyboard if problem with USB keyboard
* North bridge (?) gets hot
* 2x 6276 CPUs (almost always) draws between 200 and 400 watt.
* There are two ethernet ports and one IPMI (not used)
* RAM order is important, see motherboard manual
* Hardware jumpers for GPU, ethernet etc.
- * Note: It is necessary to have a dedicated sound card and graphics card, if those features are desired.

####Using
####Quirks
* In GRUB the USB keyboard is unusably slow. Fix: always have a PS/2 keyboard connected, but use the USB keyboard.

Nvidia GTX 660, Nouveau drivers but crashes when playing videos. Probably my fault however.

TODO improve GRUB config
####Flasha
-Buy a couple of flash chips in case of you breaking them, and to test diffrent payloads. Furthermore, one could buy a proprietary chip just to debug the hardware.

- # In my case (KGPE-D16) it is very difficult - seemingly at random - to achieve a configuration such as read and write has good reliability.
- # Furthermore, writing has good success rate while reading is more error prone.
+ # In my case (KGPE-D16) it was very difficult - seemingly at random - to achieve a configuration such as read and write had good reliability.
+ # Furthermore, writing had good success rate while reading was more error prone.
# Thus, it is possible to write to the ROM and read (e.g.) 10 times and compare the resulting `sha512sum` to that of the ROM downloaded from Libreboot.
# If the sum EXACTLY matches atleast once, it is reasonable to assume that the write indeed succeeded.
##Fria mobilen
Sadly phones are proprietary devices that track you.
-Nevertheless, [Replicant](https://www.replicant.us/) are good but slow. An interesting coming phone is [Librem 5](https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/), Q1 2019.
