Introduction
============
**Unavailable in Libreboot 20240126 or earlier. You must [compile from
source](../build/), or use a release newer than 20240126.**
This is a beastly 15" Sandy Bridge platform from HP. It has upgradeable
graphics in the MXM-A 3.0. Only the Quadro 2000M that shipped with some
of these laptops is tested with Libreboot so far. 1000M is expected to
work as well. The very newest modules might not work, because the internal
panel is an LVDS one. Newest GPUs supposedly only support eDP panels.
Build ROM image from source
---------------------------
The build target, when building from source, is thus:
./build roms hp8560w_8mb
Installation
============
Insert binary files
-------------------
If you're using a release ROM, please ensure that you've inserted extra firmware
required refer to the [guide](../install/ivy_has_common.md) for that. (failure
to adhere to this advice will result in a bricked machine)
Set MAC address
---------------
This platform uses an Intel Flash Descriptor, and defines an Intel GbE NVM
region. As such, release/build ROMs will contain the same MAC address. To
change the MAC address, please read [nvmutil documentation](../install/nvmutil.md).
Flash a ROM image (software)
-----------------
If you're already running Libreboot, and you don't have flash protection
turned on, [internal flashing](../install/) is possible.
Flash a ROM image (hardware)
-----------------
**REMOVE all power sources like battery, charger and so on, before doing this.
This is to prevent short circuiting and power surges while flashing.**
For general information, please refer to [25xx NOR flash
instructions](../install/spi.md).
At this present time, disassembly instructions are unavailable from the
Libreboot project, but you can search for HP's own hardware maintenance manual
or look at videos online showing disassembly.
Remove the bottom cover. The SOIC-8 flash chip is next to the memory slot 2.
You need to cut away a small piece of the clear plastic protection material
to get to the chip.
