8MiB images for those who upgrade their flash to 8MiB or 16MiB. There appears
|
||||||
|
to be several possible mainboard PCBs for the E6400, which we believe mostly
|
||||||
|
affects the GPU configuration and the number of available SPI flash footprints:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- LA-3801P: iGPU, possibly dual SPI (however only one may be populated)
|
||||||
|
- LA-3803P: dGPU, dual SPI (however only one may be populated)
|
||||||
|
- LA-3805P: iGPU, single SPI flash (4MiB)
|
||||||
|
- LA-3806P: dGPU, unknown SPI configuration (likely at least 4MiB)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These PCB numbers can be found either under the black plastic in the RAM slots
|
||||||
|
on the bottom (CPU side) of the board, the top left corner near the VGA port
|
||||||
|
(top side, under the keyboard and palmrest), or near the CPU backplate (only
|
||||||
|
requires removal of the keyboard).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We believe that all boards will have at least a single 4MiB flash chip,
|
||||||
|
regardless of the number of SPI footprints. This is likely the most common
|
||||||
|
configuration on most available systems. The 2+4MiB configuration likely
|
||||||
|
would have only been used on systems with full Intel ME firmware with AMT
|
||||||
|
functionality, though this configuration has not yet been encountered.
