    820-1889-A .BRD file options?

    I have found a .BV version in several places including here but I can't find a .BRD version.

    I can't use the .BV on macOS, OBV says "error opening file"

    I could try using a windows viewer, but now Wine doesn't work with Catalina since they dropped 32bit apps. So it would mean. Install VirtualBox -> Install High Sierra -> Install Wine -> Configure viewer but that will take ages and maybe some traps en route.

    I could try converting the .BV but that will require compiling an open source project which requires the GNU tools which would conflict with my existing env so would need to be containerised first.

    Each of these is a lot of time/effort and not guaranteed to be successful so if anyone has either the .BRD file or a simpler solution I'd really appreciate it.

    Thanks.

    OpenBoardView can open `.bv` files after converting them to `.bvr` using the `bv2bvr` tool (https://github.com/inflex/bv2bvr) or the `bvconv.sh` tool (https://github.com/OpenBoardView/Ope...ties/bvconv.sh). They work under Linux, I doubt they will work as-is on Windows or macOS.
    I don't have the converted files with me right now.

    There's a framing issue on this boardview so after converting/opening it in OBV you have to zoom out a lot to see the board and recenter manually. (using the reset view button won't work)

            I spent last night trying to get Wine working with various boardviewer programs, but they wouldn't open the indonesian sourced .bv file.
            Lucky for me I tried sorting duckduckgo results by "last year" and this thread appeared.

              Notice to users of XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76 programmers regarding BIOS backup file size
              by m1ch43lzm
              Hi everyone
              I noticed on the Xgpro software the BIOS backup files have extra bytes at the end when reading some chips, this is because the Xgpro software also reads the OTP region of those flash chips, and by default will append that region to the saved file
              Programmer models: XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76

              Example: GD25LQ128D (1.8V), IC size is listed as 0x1000000 Bytes (16777216 bytes) + 0xC00 bytes, those extra 0xC00 bytes will be appended to the end of the saved file by default, resulting in a file size of 16780288 bytes
              There's also an extra OTP Secu.R...

              Need Clean BIOS/EC Bin File for Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e - Stuck with 0275 Error CMS

              Hello everyone,

              I am attempting a repair on a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e that is currently stuck at boot with the error: "0275 error CMS" even after setup new bios battery and will not allow me to enter the BIOS/Setup.

              This is a critical issue that I believe requires flashing the BIOS chip directly using a programmer (e.g., CH341A/RT809H), as standard software updates or resets are not possible.

              I have opened the laptop and identified the main BIOS chip...

              Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed
              by Forest79
              Hello,

              I got a Lenovo ThinkStation P520 (Type 30BF) from a friend, asking me for a repair. Windows 11 offered a firmware upgrade as an optional update, and it failed.
              The emergency flash procedure from the hardware manual has also failed. So, I asked an acquaintance with better skills to flash the BIOS directly.

              However, the chip (a Macronix MX25L25673GMI-08G) has a size of 32 MB, and the BIOS file from the Lenovo website (extracted with UEFITool) has a little more than 16 MB. Thus, the software my acquaintance used (SiberiaProg v1.45, with a CH341A Programmer)...
