Introduction

Libreboot 20231021 and releases newer than this have ROMs available for Dell Latitude E6430.

ROM images for Dell Latitude E6430 are available for flashing in the Libreboot releases after 20230625, or you can compile a ROM image for installation via lbmk, see: build instructions

Only the Intel GPU variants are supported, currently. All models with Intel GPU are assumed to work.

Unlike the E6400, this one does require a neutered Intel ME image to run. This means running it through me_cleaner before flashing; the Libreboot build system does this automatically, during build, or you can insert a neutered ROM image using the vendor scripts, see guide:

Insert vendor files

As with the E6400, this one is flashable in software, from Dell UEFI firmware to Libreboot. Please refer to the installation instructions.

To install Libreboot, see: E6430 installation instructions
