% MacBook 1,1

There is an Apple laptop called the macbook1,1 from 2006 which uses the same i945 chipset as the ThinkPad X60/T60. A developer ported the MacBook2,1 to coreboot, the ROM images also work on the macbook1,1.

You can refer to #macbook21 for most of this. Macbook2,1 laptops come with Core 2 Duo processors which support 64-bit operating systems (and 32-bit). The MacBook1,1 uses Core Duo processors (supports 32-bit OS but not 64-bit), and it is believed that this is the only difference.

It is believed that all models are compatible, listed here:

Compatible models

Specifically (Order No. / Model No. / CPU):

• MA255LL/A / A1181 (EMC 2092) / Core Duo T2500 (tested - working)
• MA254LL/A / A1181 (EMC 2092) / Core Duo T2400 (tested - working)
• MA472LL/A / A1181 (EMC 2092) / Core Duo T2500 (untested)

Unbricking: this page shows disassembly guides and mono's page (see #macbook21) shows the location of the SPI flash chip on the motherboard. How to remove the motherboard.

No method is yet known for flashing in GNU+Linux while the Apple firmware is running. You will need to disassemble the system and flash externally. Reading from flash seems to work. For external flashing, refer to ../install/bbb_setup.html.
