NitroPad V54 Firmware Flashing

NitroPad, NitroPC
1

I just received my NitroPad V54, and I would like to flash Dasharo myself, to avoid risk of firmware modification during shipping.

I look at the Dasharo documentation, and they have support for similar laptops, including from Nova Custom, but I want to confirm if the steps are the same for NitroPad V54.

I will compile Dasharo/Coreboot myself, but I want to reproduce exaxtly Nitrokey’s preferred configuration, so please let me know which Dasharo branch/tag to use when building, and any additional steps performed when flashing the laptop.

Lastly, do I need to worry about invalidating my Dasharo subscription?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Yes this is totally feasible.

Just follow the 14th gen instructions here:

Thank you. Do I need to do anything special for Nitropad devices, to preserve special function keys or anything like that?

Which branch/release of dasharo does Nitrokey use when flashing?

Stock function will be preserved. Or you can see the known issues in the release page here:
