My company, Minifree Ltd, also sells this machine with Libreboot pre-installed.
|
|
|
|
|
I use the profits from sales to fund my work. You can find the Libreboot 820

Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a beastly 12.5" Broadwell machine from HP, the main benefit of which is
|
2024-01-10 17:51:08 +00:00
|
|
|
greater power efficiency (compared to Ivybridge and Haswell platforms), while
|
2024-01-10 17:39:15 +00:00
|
|
|
offering similar CPU performance but much higher graphics performance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Variants exist with either Intel Core i5-5200U, i5-5300U, i7-5500U or
|
|
|
|
|
i7-5600U and it comes with a plethora of ports; 3x USB 3.0, DisplayPort (which
|
|
|
|
|
can do 4K 60Hz), a VGA port, can be expanded to 32GB RAM, has *3* slots which
|
|
|
|
|
can take SSDs (PCIe, M2 and regular SATA), also has a side dock connector (for
|
|
|
|
|
a docking station). The screen is eDP type and can be upgraded to 1920x1080.
|
|
|
|
|

This is a nice portable machine, with very reasonable performance. Most people
|
|
|
|
|
should be very satisfied with it, in daily use. It is widely available in
|
|
|
|
|
online market places. This page will tell you how to flash it!

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All variants of this mainboard will come with Intel HD 5500 graphics, which has
|
|
|
|
|
completely free software initialisation in coreboot, provided by *libgfxinit*.
