Introduction
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
**Unavailable in Libreboot 20240126 or earlier. You must [compile from
|
||||
source](../build/), or use a version newer than Libreboot 20240126**
|
||||
|
||||
Official information about the laptop can be found here:
|
||||
<https://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/optiplex-9020-micro-technical-spec-sheet.pdf>
|
||||
|
||||
7020 compatibility
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
7020/9020 MT each have the same motherboard. Flash the 9020 ROM from Libreboot
|
||||
on your 7020, and it will work.
|
||||
|
||||
Ditto 7020/9020 SFF, it's the same motherboard. However, Libreboot provides
|
||||
separate targets for MT and SFF.
|
||||
|
||||
Build ROM image from source
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
For the MT variant (7020 MT and 9020 SFF):
|
||||
|
||||
./build roms dell9020mt_12mb
|
||||
|
||||
For the SFF variant (7020 MT and 7020 SFF):
|
||||
|
||||
./build roms dell9020sff_12mb
|
||||
|
||||
It is important that you choose the right one. The MT variant is the full
|
||||
MTX tower.
|
||||
|
||||
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)
|
||||
|
||||
Libreboot's build system automatically downloads and processes these files if
|
||||
you build Libreboot from source, but the same logic that it uses must be re-run
|
||||
if you're using a release image.
|
||||
|
||||
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).
|
||||
|
||||
WARNING about CPU/GPU compatibility
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE: Graphics cards did not work when last tested; the rendering and output
|
||||
is still handled by the intel graphics. Until this changes, you can only use
|
||||
the onboard Intel graphics reliably, on these boards.**
|
||||
|
||||
At the time of testing this board, I didn't have a CPU with graphics built in,
|
||||
so I could only use discrete graphics on the PCI-E slot (in my case, Nvidia
|
||||
Quadro K420 running under the nouveau driver in Linux).
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use onboard graphics, you must have a CPU that has a GPU built
|
||||
into it. You can find a list here:
|
||||
|
||||
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haswell_(microarchitecture)> (**must be LGA 1150 socket**)
|
||||
|
||||
Because of this, Libreboot currently only provides ROM images where SeaBIOS
|
||||
is the first payload, and SeaBIOS is relied upon the execute the VGA ROM that's
|
||||
stored on the graphics card. However, coreboot's libgfxinit is also enabled,
|
||||
so onboard graphics *should* work if you don't have a graphics card installed.
|
||||
|
||||
Coreboot has libre initialisation code for Intel graphics, but libre
|
||||
initialisation code is not available for most graphics cards. This machine can
|
||||
take any graphics card that fits in the PCI-E slot.
|
||||
|
||||
GRUB *also* works, from SeaBIOS when the machine is booted in text mode. Both
|
||||
coreboot GRUB, and BIOS GRUB provided by your (Linux) distro. It's done this
|
||||
way (SeaBIOS first) because Libreboot's configuration does not tell *coreboot*
|
||||
to execute VGA Option ROMs, and it's important that we try to prevent bricks
|
||||
whenever possible.
|
||||
|
||||
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 and connectors from the machine, 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) - that page refers to use of socketed flash.
|
||||
|
||||
This machine is somewhat cumbersome to flash, because it has a SOIC-16 flash
|
||||
for the first 8MB part, and 4MB SOIC8. You can split up your 12MB ROM image
|
||||
like so:
|
||||
|
||||
dd if=libreboot.rom of=4mb.rom bs=1M skip=8
|
||||
dd if=libreboot.rom of=8mb.rom bs=1M count=8
|
||||
|
||||
The side cover comes off easily, and you can find the flash ICs next to the RAM.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's the SOIC8 ICs being flashed:
