TODO: this page could do with an update. More info, about more boards

This document lists product codenames for some hardware. Please note that just because a certain device is listed here does NOT mean that it is supported in Libreboot. For supported devices refer to the installation documentation.

Some laptops come with and without a discrete GPU (dGPU). Whether the motherboard includes one or not can be determined by (in descending order of reliability):

• often thorough disassembly and searching for the actual chip
• looking at white PCB markings near RAM slots / under keyboard and comparing with some known codenames (if not available FRU ID sticker) listed below.
• sometimes by looking at heatsink grills: on discrete GPU laptops these will look orange and on intergrated ones they will appear silver.

• Asus Chromebook C201PA: speedy_rk3288, veyron-speedy

• ThinkPad X60: KS Note (Sumo)

• ThinkPad X60s (slim): KS Note-2 / KS-2 (Kabuki)

• ThinkPad X60 Tablet: Dali (Same PCB as KS Note-2, different EC firmware)

• ThinkPad X200: Mocha-1

• ThinkPad X200s (slim): Pecan-1

• ThinkPad X200 Tablet: Caramel-1

• ThinkPad R400/T400: Malibu-3

  • with discrete GPU (dGPU), at board revision 0: “MLB3D-0
  • with only integrated GPU (iGPU), at board revision 0: “MLB3I-0”

• ThinkPad T500/W500: Coronado-5

  • with dGPU (radeon): “COR5D-0” (last number is the board revision)
  • with only iGPU: “COR5I-0”

• ThinkPad T400s (slim): Shinai-MV

• ThinkPad R500: Waikiki-3

• T6x (whole family): Davinci. They don’t have codename label in silkscreen so you need to use FRU label of the board, which is placed under RAM sticks.

• T60:

  • with dGPU (radeon): Magi-0 (last number is the board revision)
  • with iGPU: Lisa-0

• R60(e): RP-1, RP-2 - Rockwell / Picasso

• With ThinkPads on Intel platforms newer than Montevina (Except T410), the codenames become more consistent. All boards have the following appended based on the type of graphics they have:

  • with dGPU: SWG (SWitchable Graphics)
  • with only iGPU: UMA (Unified Memory Access)

*Note that Intel platforms newer than Montevina are not supported by libreboot yet!. Currently only Calistoga and Montevina platforms are supported.

• These are the known model codenames:
  • ThinkPad T410: NOZOMI-1 # EXT/INT
  • ThinkPad T410s: SHINAI-2 # SWG/UMA
  • ThinkPad T420: NOZOMI-3 # SWG/UMA
  • ThinkPad T420s: SHINAI-3 # SWG/UMA
  • ThinkPad T430: NOZOMI-4 # SWG/UMA
  • ThinkPad T430s: SHINAI-4 # SWG/UMA
  • ThinkPad T520: KENDO-1
  • ThinkPad W520: KENDO-1 WS
  • ThinkPad T520: KENDO-3
  • ThinkPad W520: KENDO-3 WS
  • ThinkPad T530: KENDO-4
  • ThinkPad W530: KENDO-4 WS
• ThinkPad T-series dock codenames:
  • Advanced Mini Dock - Donatello
  • Advanced Mini Dock (lacking SuperIO) - Donatello-lite
  • Advanced Dock - Rodin
  • Dock II - Aswan
  • Mini Dock - Seville
  • Port Replicator II - Seville-lite

• Calistoga: 945GM/945PM chipset family name
• Napa: calistoga based platform
• Cantiga: GM45/GS45/PM45 chipset family name. This is the chipset used in T400,X200 and similar.
• Montevina: cantiga based platform.
• PMH: the Power Management Hub is a gate array for managing the power up/down sequence. It is additionally tasked with extending EC’s I/O. Its later version was called “Thinker-1”, and eventually it was merged with PMIC (Rinkan) as ThinkEngine (Do not confuse it with EC chip which is also has ThinkEngine logo on ThinkPad boards)
• Kozak, Tsurumai, Rinkan: These are successive versions of power management ICs for Notebook PCs. Tsurumai chip marking is “TB62501F” and datasheet of it fully describes its operation.

• Many more Intel codenames can be found at Wikipedia.
