# HP EliteBook 820 G2
|
||||
|
||||
This page is about the notebook [HP EliteBook 820 G2].
|
||||
|
||||
## Release status
|
||||
|
||||
HP EliteBook 820 G2 was released in 2015 and is now end of life.
|
||||
It can be bought from a secondhand market like Taobao or eBay.
|
||||
|
||||
## Required proprietary blobs
|
||||
|
||||
The following blobs are required to operate the hardware:
|
||||
|
||||
1. EC firmware
|
||||
2. Intel ME firmware
|
||||
3. Broadwell mrc.bin and refcode.elf
|
||||
|
||||
HP EliteBook 820 G2 uses SMSC MEC1324 as its embedded controller.
|
||||
The EC firmware is stored in the flash chip, but we don't need to touch it
|
||||
or use it in the coreboot build process.
|
||||
|
||||
Intel ME firmware is in the flash chip. It is not needed when building coreboot.
|
||||
|
||||
The Broadwell memory reference code binary and reference code blob is needed
|
||||
when building coreboot. Read the document [Blobs used in Intel Broadwell boards]
|
||||
on how to get these blobs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Programming
|
||||
|
||||
Before flashing, remove the battery and the hard drive cover according to the
|
||||
[Maintenance and Service Guide] of this laptop.
|
||||
|
||||
HP EliteBook 820 G2 has two flash chips, a 16MiB system flash, and a 2MiB
|
||||
private flash. To install coreboot, we need to program both flash chips.
|
||||
Read [HP Sure Start] for detailed information.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
To access the system flash, we need to connect the AC adapter to the machine,
|
||||
then clip on the flash chip with an SOIC-8 clip. An [STM32-based flash programmer]
|
||||
made with an STM32 development board is tested to work.
|
||||
|
||||
To access the private flash chip, we can use a ch341a based flash programmer and
|
||||
flash the chip with the AC adapter disconnected.
|
||||
|
||||
To flash coreboot on a board running OME firmware, create a backup for both flash
|
||||
chips, then do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Erase the private flash to disable the IFD protection
|
||||
2. Modify the IFD to shrink the BIOS region, so that we can put the firmware outside
|
||||
the protected flash region
|
||||
|
||||
To erase the private flash chip, attach it with the flash programmer via the SOIC-8 clip,
|
||||
then run:
|
||||
|
||||
flashrom -p <programmer> --erase
|
||||
|
||||
To modify the IFD, write the following flash layout to a file:
|
||||
|
||||
00000000:00000fff fd
|
||||
00001000:00002fff gbe
|
||||
00003000:005fffff me
|
||||
00600000:00bfffff bios
|
||||
00eb5000:00ffffff pd
|
||||
|
||||
Suppose the above layout file is ``layout.txt`` and the origin content of the system flash
|
||||
is in ``factory-sys.rom``, run:
|
||||
|
||||
ifdtool -n layout.txt factory-sys.rom
|
||||
|
||||
Then a flash image with a new IFD will be in ``factory-sys.rom.new``.
|
||||
|
||||
Flash the IFD of the system flash:
|
||||
|
||||
flashrom -p <programmer> --ifd -i fd -w factory-sys.rom.new
|
||||
|
||||
Then flash the coreboot image:
|
||||
|
||||
# first extend the 12M coreboot.rom to 16M
|
||||
fallocate -l 16M build/coreboot.rom
|
||||
flashrom -p <programmer> --ifd -i bios -w build/coreboot.rom
|
||||
|
||||
After coreboot is installed, the coreboot firmware can be updated with internal flashing:
|
||||
|
||||
flashrom -p internal --ifd -i bios --noverify-all -w build/coreboot.rom
|
||||
|
||||
## Debugging
|
||||
|
||||
The board can be debugged with EHCI debug. The EHCI debug port is the USB port on the left.

||||
