mb/hp: Add HP EliteBook Folio 9480m
The code is based on autoport, with necessary modifications. This laptop uses SMSC MEC1322 embedded controller, but the EC interface is the same as the EliteBook laptops of previous generations that use KBC1126 EC. So it still uses ec/hp/kbc1126, but does not need EC firmware inserted into CBFS. We also need to leave the end of the OEM flash content untouched, so the default ROM size is set to 12MiB instead of 16MiB, and we need to modify the IFD when flashing. Thanks to persmule for providing the laptop and pointing out how to program the system flash chip of it.

# HP EliteBook Folio 9480m
|
||||
|
||||
This page is about the notebook [HP EliteBook Folio 9480m].
|
||||
|
||||
## Release status
|
||||
|
||||
HP EliteBook Folio 9480m was released in 2014 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. mrc.bin
|
||||
|
||||
HP EliteBook Folio 9480m uses SMSC MEC1322 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 Haswell memory reference code binary is needed when building coreboot.
|
||||
Please see [mrc.bin](../../northbridge/intel/haswell/mrc.bin).
|
||||
|
||||
## Programming
|
||||
|
||||
Before flashing, remove the battery and the hard drive cover according to the
|
||||
[Maintenance and Service Guide] of this laptop.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
HP EliteBook Folio 9480m 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.
|
||||
|
||||
Before flashing coreboot, we need to 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'll not use or override
|
||||
the protected bootblock and PEI region, as well as the EC firmware
|
||||
|
||||
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, we need a new flash layout. The flash layout of the OEM firmware is:
|
||||
|
||||
00000000:00000fff fd
|
||||
00001000:00002fff gbe
|
||||
00003000:005fffff me
|
||||
00600000:00ffffff bios
|
||||
|
||||
The default coreboot configuration sets the flash chip size to 12MiB, so set the end of the
|
||||
BIOS region to 0xbfffff in the new layout. The modified IFD is as follows (Platform Data
|
||||
region pd is the region protected by HP Sure Start):
|
||||
|
||||
00000000:00000fff fd
|
||||
00001000:00002fff gbe
|
||||
00003000:005fffff me
|
||||
00600000:00bfffff bios
|
||||
00eb5000:00ffffff pd
|
||||
|
||||
Write the above layout in a file, and use ifdtool to modify the IFD of a flash image.
|
||||
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.

||||
