I Ported Coreboot to the ThinkPad X270

I wonder if this can help with the extremely irritating bug (intentional?) on the X270 where if you give it a third party 9-cell battery, it will raise CPU_PROCHOT all the damn time, and my processor would drop to below 1Ghz clock speeds.

Back when I used to have an X270 I had a shell script that ran on boot which poked a register to disable thermal throttling handling. Not at all ideal, but it made the machine usable in the absence of official Lenovo batteries which they stopped manufacturing pretty damn quickly.

How did OP debug this without a serial port?

I’ve messed around with porting coreboot on two desktop platforms but always had the benefit of a HW serial port…

Atom feed is malformed :(

What I would give for a wife that would enjoy tinkering with me.

Was AI Used?

This is absurdly trans-coded.

Ah, todsacerdoti. ;)
