The Zerocat Chipflasher is a versatile device that is made for firmware replacement. Its operation requires some training and some knowledge about typical difficulties in in-system flash programming.

This device comes with freedom in mind, down to details. It started as a cellar-project during the time of Snowden revelations, and now reaches a point of maturity in cooperation with the GNU Boot project. Key features that make this device a reproducable tool on GNU/Linux-Libre systems, now and in future, will be explained.

You will be trained in device operation, targeting a hard-to-flash ThinkPad T60 systemboard. Successful operation should result in a successful boot of the liberated T60 laptop - but let’s see! -- https://www.zerocat.org
