Coreboot/SeaBIOS + Hackintosh on x230

Open chuckhacker opened this issue 8 years ago • 8 comments

Has anyone tried this yet? I'm about to flash my BIOS with a Raspberry Pi, really want to avoid the wifi whitelist so I can have an Azurewave hackintosh-compatible AC wireless half-height mini card in there.

I'll be sure to include details of what I encounter. Let the adventures begin!

! I tried flashing whitelist-removed ThinkPad X230 BIOS on my ThinkPad. Anything works except some vPro features. (Intel AMT) I haven't tried flashing Coreboot / SeaBIOS on my ThinkPad, but it must be fun 😂. Looking forward to your adventure.

I don't use Intel AMT, so not a problem. I also "neutralized" Management Engine using the script linked at:

Anything that allows "remote" anything at the firmware level is spyware in my book.

I've put a tutorial on rebranding, in case flashing the bios is not working.

@chuckhacker Did you succeed in running macOS with Coreboot? @xxx10101xxx Can you send me a copy of your modified bios?

Hi @chuckhacker , any news on using Coreboot with macOS ? I'm interested. Thanks.

Doesn't work, clover bootloader efi emulation requires ME, neutralizing it won't make it work.

But what about open core hackintosh using coreboot?
