== Libreboot and Replicant Workshop ==

...
Related to this, we want to promote libre software and compatible hardware more,
and to collaborate with people in hackerspaces and event organizers, to deliver workshops there.

Since I (Florentin) come regularly (a few times a year) to Vienna, we thought
of organizing Libreboot (Coreboot) and Replicant workshops in Metalab.

When

    Tue., 10.7.2018, 19:00

    (I will also be in Metalab on Mon., 09.7.2018, evening)

What the workshop would be

=== Libreboot - Libre replacement for BIOS ===

- hardware compatibility & downloading the right image
- getting to know the tools and the targets
- flashing the chip where the BIOS is stored, using flashrom, an external SPI programmer and a clip (or soldered wires)
- setting up the GRUB payload by modifying grub.cfg in the CBFS, using cbfstool


=== Replicant - Libre replacement for the phones' main OS ===

- flashing a recovery image, using heimdall (for Samsung phones)
- installing a system zip from Recovery, using a micro USB cable
- connecting to Internet with an external WiFi adapter that has libre driver+firmware
- talking about future development, external bluetooth, external GPS, DIY phones, etc.
