-## Building coreboot
-
-### Preliminaries
-
-Prior to building coreboot the following files are required:
-
-Comet Lake and Kaby Lake configurations:
-- Intel Flash Descriptor file (descriptor.bin)
-- Intel Management Engine firmware (me.bin)
-
-Comet Lake configuration only:
-- ITE IT8987E firmware (it8987-x.xx.bin)
-
-All Star Labs platforms:
-- Splash screen image in Windows 3.1 BMP format (Logo.bmp)
-
-These files exist in the correct location in the StarLabsLtd/blobs repo on GitHub which is used in place of the standard 3rdparty/blobs repo.
-
-### Build
-
-The following commands will build a working image:
-
-##### LabTop Mk IV (Comet Lake)
-
-```bash
-make distclean
-make defconfig KBUILD_DEFCONFIG=configs/config.starlabs_labtop_cml
-make
-```
-
-##### LabTop Mk III (Kaby Lake)
-
-```bash
-make distclean
-make defconfig KBUILD_DEFCONFIG=configs/config.starlabs_labtop_kbl
-make
-```
-

-#### **Requirements:**
-
-* Only available on Star Labtop Mk IV and Star LabTop Mk III
-* fwupd version 1.5.6 or later
-* The battery must be charged to at least 30%
-* The charger must be connected (either USB-C or DC Jack)
-* BIOS Lock must be disabled
-* Supported Linux distribution (Ubuntu 20.04 +, Linux Mint 20.1 + elementaryOS 6 +, Manjaro 21+)
-
-**fwupd 1.5.6 or later**
-To check the version of **fwupd** you have installed, open a terminal window and enter the below command:
-
-```
-fwupdmgr --version
-```
-
-This will show the version number. **1.5.6** or greater will work.
-![fwupd version](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2059/5897/files/fwupdV.png?v=1611136423)
-On Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 20.10, Linux Mint 20.1 and elementaryOS 6, fwupd 1.5.6 can be installed from our PPA with the below terminal commands:
-
-```
-sudo add-apt-repository ppa:starlabs/ppa
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install fwupd
-```
-
-On Manjaro:
-
-```
-sudo pacman -Sy fwupd-git flashrom-starlabs
-```
-
-Instructions for other distributions will be added once fwupd 1.5.6 is available. If you are not using one of the distributions listed above, it is possible to install coreboot using a Live USB.
-
-**Disable BIOS Lock**
-BIOS Lock must be disabled when switching from the standard AMI (American Megatrends Inc.) firmware to coreboot. To disable BIOS Lock:
-
-1\. Start with your LabTop turned off\. Turn it on whilst holding the **F2** key to access the BIOS settings.
-2\. When the BIOS settings load, use the arrow keys to navigate to the advanced tab\. Here you will see BIOS Lock\.
-3\. Press `Enter` to change this setting from **Enabled** to **Disabled**
-
-![Disable BIOS Lock](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2059/5897/files/IMG_20210120_094049709_1.jpg?v=1611139567)
-
-4\. Next, press the `F10` key to **Save & Exit** and then `Enter` to confirm.
-
-#### **Switching Branch**
-
-Switching branch refers to changing from AMI firmware to coreboot, or vice versa.
-
-First, check for new firmware files with the below terminal command:
-
-```
-fwupdmgr refresh --force
-```
-
-Then, to change branch, enter the below terminal command:
-
-```
-fwupdmgr switch-branch
-```
-
-You can then select which branch you would like to use, by typing in the corresponding number:
-![Switch Branch](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2059/5897/files/SwitchBranch.png?v=1611138496)
-You will be prompted to confirm, press `y` to continue or `n` to cancel.
-
-Once the switch has been completed, you will be prompted to restart.
-
-![Installed coreboot](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2059/5897/files/Complete.png?v=1611138934)
-The next reboot can take up to **5 minutes,** do not interrupt this process or disconnect the charger. Once the reboot is complete, that's it - you'll continue to receive updates for whichever branch you are using.
-
-You can switch branch at any time. \ No newline at end of file
