Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Libreboot has support for this, in the Git repository and release versions
|
|
after (but not including) 20230423.
|
|
|
|
Brief board info
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
HP EliteBook 2570p is a 12.5" laptop very similar to the 2560p.
|
|
The only real difference seems to be that this shipped with Ivy Bridge
|
|
processors rather than Sandy Bridge, and has an USB 3.0 port.
|
|
|
|
You can read more specifications directly from HP:

|
|
|
|
The following is tested and confirmed working
|
|
thanks to `Johan Ehnberg (johan@molnix.com)`:
|
|
|
|
- Native raminit with 2+2 (matched or unmatched), 2+8 or 8+8 GiB RAM
|
|
- SeaBIOS and GRUB (booted Devuan and Ubuntu) (corebootfb+txtmode)
|
|
- S3 suspend to RAM
|
|
- Backlight control
|
|
- 2.5" SATA SSD
|
|
- Optical drive slot
|
|
- Gigabit Ethernet
|
|
- Mini-PCIe Wi-Fi
|
|
- SD card reader
|
|
- Bluetooth
|
|
- Touchpad
|
|
- Headphone jack, speakers and microphone
|
|
- Webcam
|
|
- Docking station: all ports except that weird extension port tested,
|
|
hotplug and unplug work
|
|
- VGA & DisplayPort
|
|
- Fn combos, mute button
|
|
- "Launch browser" button: worked one day, not other.
|
|
Probably just not configured in OS.
|
|
|
|
These were visible on lsusb, but no further tests were performed:
|
|
|
|
- Fingerprint sensor
|
|
- Smart card reader
|
|
- WWAN (3G modem)
|
|
|
|
Untested:
|
|
|
|
- Trackpoint (not present on cheap aftermarket keyboard tested)
|
|
- ExpressCard
|
|
- eSATA & mSATA (believed to work based on coreboot comments)
|
|
|
|
Not working:
|
|
|
|
- Radio button
|
|
|
|
Installation of Libreboot
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can actually just compile the Libreboot ROM for this, and flash the
|
|
entire ROM. The process is the same as 2560p, except you probably have
|
|
a SOIC-16 chip instead of SOIC-8. Follow these instructions:
|
|
|
|
<https://doc.coreboot.org/mainboard/hp/2560p.html#programming>
|
|
|
|
Refer to that coreboot guide for flashing instructions, and you can
|
|
build the images for it in Libreboot like so:
|
|
|
|
./build roms hp2570p_16mb
|
|
|
|
More information about building ROM images can be found in
|
|
the [build guide](../build/).
|
|
|
|
This is an *Ivy Bridge* board which means that a neutered ME image is required
|
|
if you wish to flash the ME region. Libreboot's build system automatically
|
|
downloads, neuters (using `me_cleaner`) and inserts this if compiling from
|
|
source.
|
|
|
|
If you're using *Libreboot release* ROM images, the ME image has been scrubbed
|
|
and you must re-insert it. Use the information on this guide to know how
|
|
to do that:
|
|
|
|
[Insert vendor files on Intel Sandybridge/Ivybridge/Haswell
|
|
platforms](../install/ivy_has_common.md)
|
|
|
|
You may also wish to change the *default MAC address* if you're planning to
|
|
use the onboard Intel Gigabit Ethernet. You can do this using the information
|
|
in the same guide linked above, or read the nvmutil manual:
|
|
|
|
[Modify MAC addresses with nvmutil](../install/nvmutil.md).
