# Lenovo X200 / T400 / T500 / X301 common
These models are sold with either 8 MiB or 4 MiB flash chip. You can identify
the chip in your machine through flashrom:
```console
# flashrom -p internal
```
Note that this does not allow you to determine whether the chip is in a SOIC-8
or a SOIC-16 package.

## Installing with ME firmware
To install coreboot and keep ME working, you don't need to do anything special
with the flash descriptor. Only flash the `bios` region externally and don't
touch any other regions:
```console
# flashrom -p YOUR_PROGRAMMER -w coreboot.rom --ifd -i bios
```

## Installing without ME firmware
```eval_rst
.. Note::
**ThinkPad R500** has slightly different flash layout (it doesn't have
``gbe`` region), so the process would be a little different for that model.
```
On Montevina machines it's possible to disable ME and remove its firmware from
SPI flash by modifying the flash descriptor. This also makes it possible to use
the flash region the ME used for `bios` region, allowing for much larger
payloads.
First of all create a backup of your ROM with an external programmer:
```console
# flashrom -p YOUR_PROGRAMMER -r backup.rom
```

The last two lines define `pd` and `me` regions of negative size. This way
ifdtool will mark those as unused.
Update regions in the flash descrpitor (it was extracted previously with
`ifdtool -x`):

$ ifdtool -n new_layout.txt flashregion_0_flashdescriptor.bin
```
Set `MeDisable` bit in ICH0 and MCH0 straps:
```console
$ ifdtool -M 1 flashregion_0_flashdescriptor.bin.new
```
Delete previous descriptors and rename the final one:
```console
$ rm flashregion_0_flashdescriptor.bin
$ rm flashregion_0_flashdescriptor.bin.new
$ mv flashregion_0_flashdescriptor.bin.new.new flashregion_0_flashdescriptor.bin
