+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.
