## Installation instructions
+
+Flashing coreboot for the first time needs to be done using an external
+programmer, because vendor firmware prevents rewriting the BIOS region.
+
* Update the EC firmware, as there's no support for EC updates in coreboot.
* Do **NOT** accidentally swap pins or power on the board while a SPI flasher
is connected. It will destroy your device.
