Wanting Librem Key after purchase of Coreboot SEABios

Hardware Librem (Other)
1

I accidentally did not add the PureBoot Bundle option for the new Librem 14 laptop I now have-- but I notice you CAN purchase the Librem Key separately for $60USD under “products” so the simple Q is, because I have “coreboot SEABios”, is it totally pointless to buy the LibremKey if my purpose is to want to use the cool “red light/green light” functioning of seeing if laptop was tampered with or has a backdoor built into it?

My field is NOT computers (obviously) so please feel free to “dumb down” your answer, no offense taken at all :slight_smile:

Hi @johnstamos001, welcome to the Community!

AFAIK you can flash Pureboot yourself using coreboot utility. Of course it should work with a new Librem Key. And if you’re not comfortable with Pureboot, you can flash Coreboot again. The link contains instructions. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here.
