Prepare Your Raspberry Pi Pico

To flash Libreboot externally you need an SPI programmer. A Raspberry Pi Pico H, loaded with the open-source serprog firmware, is one of the cheapest and most reliable options.

This section walks through getting the Pico ready: building and flashing the serprog firmware, then connecting it to the SOIC8 BIOS chip on your laptop.

In this section

• Build Serprog — compile and flash serprog onto the Pico
• Wire the Connection — connect the Pico to your laptop's BIOS chip with a SOIC8 clip
