How to use thinkpad-ec on Nitropad bios

Hi,

I am trying to do this GitHub - hamishcoleman/thinkpad-ec: Infrastructure for examining and patching Thinkpad embedded controller firmware to enable usage for t420 keyboard change for my t430.

I have CBET4000 Heads-v1.4-6-gd46488a
but thinkpad-ec github page says i need BIOS 2.81 (G1ETC1WW) and EC 1.13 (G1HT35WW)

Does that mean there is no way for me to ec flash it unless I’m willing to go back to G1ETC1WW?

says here it can be ec flashed on G1ETC1WW and then possible to upgrade to coreboot

Yes, it is not possible with our firmware. You would need to flash back the old bios.

To be more precise: This might be possible under coreboot/heads, but it would need quit a deep dive which unfortunately nobody seems to has done till now
