  • Enables analysis and patching of ThinkPad EC firmware via low-level access
  • Supports constructing patched EC firmware images (*.img) for specific models like X230
  • Tools to compute checksums and handle EC-specific encryption/validation mechanisms
  • Infrastructure to integrate EC modifications into BIOS update workflows
  • Trusted by communities for moderate-risk firmware modifications when handled safely
  • Open-source and hardware-specific; aimed at advanced users with ThinkPad expertise
