This looks excellent and is definitely something I would like to buy. Can you confirm that the Bootguard keys are NOT fused to the platform controller hub? Fusing them to the pch would prevent someone porting this board to coreboot, which myself and plenty of others would no doubt like to see happen.

Thank you for interested in this project, for your question I will check with the develop team, and will back to you once I get the answer.
TKS.

Thanks Franck.

Can you confirm the following:

1) Will the embedded controller firmware be compatible with ANY compatible X200/201 keyboard? For example, I would want to use a UK keyboard (I am aware I would have to source this myself)

2) What is the speed of the RJ45 jack?

3) What speed/generation are the USB ports? For example, are the USB-A ports 3.2 Gen 2x1, and the (non-Thunderbolt) USB-C port 3.2 Gen 2x2?

Sorry for all the questions.

We will post the all details once the all things testing done, thanks.
