Very nice ivybridge board that supports ECC RAM.
NOTE: I couldn't get onboard graphics working yet, but
this was confirmed working with a graphics card (in my
case nvidia quadra k420) booted in text mode on the SeaBIOS
payload. The GRUB payload also works, when loaded from SeaBIOS.
Therefore, this is a SeaBIOS-only board (as far as first payload
is concerned), but you can pick GRUB from the menu.
You could make it "GRUB-only" in practise by setting SeaBIOS
boot order to only load GRUB, and disable the SeaBIOS menu.
We refer to this as "SeaGRUB".
I've made lbmk use biosutilities and uefiextract, to
get at the SMSC SCH5545 Environmental Control (EC) firmware.
This firmware is needed for fan control. This is automatically
downloaded and extracted, from Dell UEFI firmware updates.
As with other blobs such as Intel ME, this firmware is then
scrubbed by the release build scripts. The blobutil "inject"
script can be used to re-insert it.
Of note: there is no fixed offset, but no other blobs to
be inserted in CBFS either, so the offset when re-inserting
on release ROMs should still be the same, and thus the ROM
checksums should match, when running blobutil inject.

Still on Gerrit. ME downloader failed with HP update file, so let's just
use Lenovo's instead. Both contain identical ME8_5M_Production.bin files.
Tested and working:
* Native raminit with both DIMMs
* Libgfxinit textmode and framebuffer on both DisplayPorts and VGA
* External USB2 and USB3 ports: they all work
* USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (rear, 4 ports)
* Ethernet
* Mini-PCIe WLAN
* SATA: 2.5" SSD and optical drive bay
* SeaBIOS and GRUB (boot to linux)
* PS/2 keyboard and mouse
* S3 suspend and resume, wake using USB keyboard
* Headphone output, line out, internal speaker
* Wake on LAN
* Rebooting
* CMOS options & nvramcui
Untested:
* Line in, mic input
* MXM graphics card
* EHCI debug
Not working:
* Mini-PCIe USB: I couldn't get it working on vendor BIOS either, so
maybe it just isn't present
* PS/2 keyboard wake from S3
* mSATA (I have no mSATA drives)
Tested with Johan Ehnberg (johan@molnix.com)
The following is tested and confirmed working:
- backlight control
- touchpad
- USB (external, smart card, fingerprint, bluetooth, webcam, WWAN)
- touchpad
- Wi-Fi
- 2,5" SATA
- USB 3.0
- SD card
- Memory: 2+2 (matched or unmatched), 8+2, 8+8
- internal flashing from libreboot
- SeaBIOS and GRUB payloads
- Boots Devuan and Ubuntu
Untested:
- ExpressCard
- DVD
- dock
- external displays
- eSATA
- trackpoint (not present on this aftermarket keyboard)
New x230edp_12mb target uses the
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/28950 patchset to add an
X230_EDP target to the default coreboot branch.
Consequently the "fhd" coreboot branch is no longer needed and has
been safely removed.
