[Sugar-devel] [IAEP] Uruguayan XOs Revival

[Samuel Greenfeld]

OLPC has released firmware to unlock all XOs locked via standard means:
https://wiki.laptop.org/go/Persistent_developer_key_firmware

Definitely make sure you have permission first. You may have to ignore
download warnings about the https:// page having http:// download links in
Chrome/etc..

It is possible that the OS build on the laptop could be too old to boot
with the device tree in newer firmware.  But ideally these should work.
