Nitropad X230 with Qubes 4.1

[taran1s]

Hello everyone, I am using the Nitropad X230 with the latest 4.0 Qubes
installed.

In the conversation with Thierry Laurion here
https://groups.google.com/g/qubes-users/c/KsY46D55UQM/m/F3cQ-89KBQAJ it
seemed that at that time the Nitropad X230 was not ready to transit to
Qubes 4.1.

This part of the conversation actually: Heads will need to be reflashed
with a ROM supporting cryptsetup2 to reinstall. Heada will also need to
be based on coreboot 4.13+ as per pending Heads pull request 1015.

Consider this as a beta testing ROM.

Is the situation different now with rc4, or is it advisable to wait till
the transition will be ready?

Thank you!

[Simon Newton]

Nitropad will need to provide you an upgrade path that supports Cryptsetup2 in order to move to QubesOs 4.1

Alternatively, you could flash a current version of the X230 heads firmware (which uses 4.13 and cryptsetup2) by building this yourself from source, or grabbing a prebuilt bin from the Heads CircleCI https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/osresearch/heads - the hardware is still an X230.

However you need to consider if Nitropad would support your product were you to do this.
