How to install Libreboot in 2024? (lemy.lol)

Hi all . I currently have version 2023.06.25 installed, stable. Tell me how to install the latest version 20240612? I see a lot of changes here https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbwww/commit/d8bcd5c7044e28c6e20778ea25f6b907092a7e52 If I understand correctly the mechanism for introducing blob objects has changed, how can I check the ROM after I run the command $ ./build roms t440plibremrc_12mb

Mental Outlaw's vid is probably a good place to start, afterwards I'd recommend reading Libreboot's documentation

Edit:

how can I check the ROM after I run the command $ ./build roms t440plibremrc_12mb

ah rip, I didn't catch this part sorry

unfortunately I'm not the right person to answer that, hopefully someone else might know

Unfortunately, there is no answer to this question; the documentation and methods for installing Libreboot change very often.

You wrote the correct command $ ./build roms t440plibremrc_12mb , but I want to understand how I can check the ROM before flashing the firmware, is everything okay, are the blobs embedded so that I can boot my laptop, this was the command before:

./cbfstool grub_t440pmrc_12mb_libgfxinit_corebootfb_usqwerty.rom print
