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

Introduction

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 osboot. For supported devices refer to the installation documentation.

A note on GPUs

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.

List of models and codenames

Codenames

  • 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)
  • 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

Miscellaneous

  • 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.
