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).
|
|
|
|
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:
