Introduction
============
Libreboot has support for this, in the Git repository and release versions
after (but *not* including) the Libreboot 20230413 release.
Brief board info
----------------
HP EliteBook 2560p is a 12.5" laptop you can read more about here:
<https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-elitebook-2560p-notebook-pc/5071201>
Installation of Libreboot
-------------------------
You can actually just compile the Libreboot ROM for this, and flash the
entire ROM, then flash it. The *coreboot* project proper, has information
about this:
<https://doc.coreboot.org/mainboard/hp/2560p.html#programming>
Refer to the coreboot guide for flashing instructions, and you can build the
images for it in Libreboot like so:
./build boot roms hp2560p_8mb
More information about building ROM images can be found in
the [build guide](../build/).
This is a *Sandybridge* board which means that a neutered ME image is required
if you wish to flash the ME region. Libreboot's build system automatically
downloads, neuters (using `me_cleaner`) and inserts this if compiling from
source.
If you're using *Libreboot release* ROM images, the ME image has been scrubbed
and you must re-insert it. Use the information on this guide to know how
to do that:
[Insert binary blobs on Intel Sandybridge/Ivybridge/Haswell
platforms](../install/ivy_has_common.md)
You may also wish to change the *default MAC address* if you're planning to
use the onboard Intel Gigabit Ethernet. You can do this using the information
in the same guide linked above, or read the nvmutil manual:
[Modify MAC addresses with nvmutil](../install/nvmutil.md).

Introduction
============
HP EliteBook Folio 9470m is a 14" ultrabook with a backlit keyboard.
Libreboot has support for this, in the Git repository and release versions
after (but *not* including the Libreboot 20230413 release.
Installation of Libreboot
=========================
You must first compile the Libreboot ROM
./build boot roms hp9470m_16mb
More information about building ROM images can be found in
the [build guide](../build).
This is an *Ivybridge* board which means that a neutered ME image is required
if you wish to flash the ME region. Libreboot's build system automatically
downloads, neuters (using `me_cleaner`) and inserts this if compiling from
source.
If you're using *Libreboot release* ROM images, the ME image has been scrubbed
and you must re-insert it. Use the information on this guide to know how
to do that:
[Insert binary blobs on Intel Sandybridge/Ivybridge/Haswell
platforms](../install/ivy_has_common.md)
You may also wish to change the *default MAC address* if you're planning to
use the onboard Intel Gigabit Ethernet. You can do this using the information
in the same guide linked above, or read the nvmutil manual:
[Modify MAC addresses with nvmutil](../install/nvmutil.md).
Disassembly
-----------
Remove the battery.
![](https://av.libreboot.org/hp9470m/00_battery.jpg)
Open the two screws marked with the three-disc icons.
Slide the HDD panel out and remove it.
![](https://av.libreboot.org/hp9470m/01_panel.jpg)
The flash chip is now comfortably accessible. Now refer to the
[external programming guide](../install/spi.html) for guidance on how
to program Libreboot on it.
![](https://av.libreboot.org/hp9470m/02_flash.jpg)
Some part of the board might turn on when programming. If programming fails,
you might have to attach the laptop to a charger. Make sure the laptop
powers off before running flashrom. No LEDs should be lit.

% HP EliteBook 2560p and Folio 9470m support added to Libreboot
% Riku Viitanen
% 23 April 2023
Introduction
============
![Two HP EliteBooks side by side, both running Libreboot](https://av.libreboot.org/hp9470m/9470m+2560p.jpg)
Support for [HP EliteBook Folio 9470m](../docs/hardware/hp9470m.md) and
[HP EliteBook 2560p](../docs/hardware/hp2560p.md)
has now been merged into Libreboot. These are very nice Sandy/Ivy
Bridge laptops. Libreboot's build system now builds coreboot automatically
for them, making it simple to install libre firmware on these laptops and
take control of your own devices. Check out the links above for more details,
including installation details.
Additionally, a [long-standing bug](https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64090)
with GRUB on coreboot now has a functional workaround
which is applied automatically by Libreboot.
More to come
------------
Leah Rowe has recently been on a buying spree, so more Sandy/Ivy Bridge and
Haswell EliteBooks are making their way to Libreboot soon. Libreboot's goal
is to eventually support everything coreboot does.
Do you want to help add new boards yourself? You totally could give it a try,
it's fun! The Libreboot [developers](https://libreboot.org/contact.html)
are very welcoming too.

the time of writing this post)
