Framework is a new company selling a fully modular and serviceable laptop ecosystem, similar to what exists in the desktop computer space. These systems have the CPU soldered to the motherboard, treated the motherboard + CPU as a single unit. Beyond that, all other components are removable, customizable, and replaceable, including the option to purchase a “DIY” laptop that comes without RAM, storage, networking, or even external I/O ports. The External I/O ports are provided via removable modules.
This page details the Framework Laptop Motherboard with Intel 11th Generation CPUs. For more components, see the main Framework_Laptop page.
Quirks
- The laptop may power cycle when using the touchpad if an older BIOS is installed. See https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=259230 for details.
- The clickpad only registers the left button. This can be fixed with a libinput quirk, see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=259230
- The generic ng_ubt driver attaches to the AX210 BT module. ng_ubt_intel should be used instead to avoid module lockups that cause long stalls during boot. Can be worked around with
sysrc devmatch_blocklist+=ng_ubt. More work is needed to actually add support for BT. See https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=260161
