    Oh you can still do that. The path changed to elf/cbfstool/[TREE]/cbfstool (replace [TREE] with the tree concerened). Note that since the switch to the libre RAM init code, mrc.bin is not included anymore

      I installed the updated version 20240612 everything worked as you said. Checking nothing as in the previous instructions does not give anything, as you wrote: after switching to the libre RAM initialization code mrc.bin no longer turns on.

      Now i need to edit grub.cfg because I get an error with searching for the achi1 disk

      $ ./build roms t440plibremrc_12mb

      Thanks for your answer and help. I understand you correctly that after I executed the command

      $ ./build roms t440plibremrc_12mb

      Then I can update my ROM (for example, I now have 2023.06.25) by running the commands:

      1. Boot with kernel parameter iomem=relaxed
      2. Download and install ** flashprog** since flashrom will not work (for me it shows the chip size as 8Mb instead of 12Mb)
      $ git clone  https://github.com/SourceArcade/flashprog.git
      $ cd flashprog
      $ make 
      $ sudo make install
      
      1. Check for errors with the command: $ sudo flashprog -p internal

      4 Flash $ sudo flashprog -p internal -w seabios_withgrub_t440plibremrc_12mb_libgfxinit_corebootfb_ukqwerty_grubfirst.rom

      And can I be sure that after turning on my computer I will see Grub Libreboot?

        Yeah, that’s basically right. I believe flashprog is also included in libreboot, have a look in the elf/ directory. After that, it should work as expected

          Thank you, kind person)) I installed it, but after installation my screen is too bright and this happens every time, so for now I will use the latest test version, it works well.

          I have another question, please tell me how, in your opinion, I can edit grub.cgf correctly so as not to get an error with searching for disk "ahci1"

          I inserted these lines:

          ...........
          
          	echo # Insert newline
          
          }
          
          menuentry 'Load  GNU/Linux-Libre (LTS)' {
          
          	cryptomount -a
          
          	set root='lvm/matrix-rootvol'
          
          	linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux-libre-lts root=/dev/mapper/matrix-rootvol cryptdevice=/dev/sda1:lvm
          
          	initrd /boot/initramfs-linux-libre-lts.img
          
          }
          
          menuentry 'Load Operating System (incl. fully encrypted disks)  [o]' --hotkey='o' {
          

          and deleted these ones since I don’t use raid:

          menuentry 'Load Operating System (incl. fully encrypted disks)  [o]' --hotkey='o' {
          
                  if [ "${grub_scan_disk}" != "ata" ]; then

          	fi

          		search_grub ata
