Bootloader

This device (just like many other SFI devices) uses Droidboot, which is a fastboot implementation. The bootloader is permamently locked, however there is a way to overcome this by signing a boot image (see: https://github.com/alef78/intel-ifwi-study)

How to enter flash mode

Installation

Mainline kernel

It uses the Simple Firmware Interface for discovering system timers and non-enumerable buses, but other stuff can be found using PCI. SFI has been dropped from mainline, so unless that is merged back the best thing is close-to-mainline on a fork of kernel version 5.10 which was the last kernel that supported it or use second stage bootloader Petitboot to boot newer kernels with devicetree.(See Motorola RAZR i (XT890) (motorola-smi)'s device package).
