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 mobile workstation from HP.
|
|
|
|
GPU
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
This laptop has upgradeable GPU: it has a socketed MXM-A 3.0 card. So far,
|
|
only Quadro 1000M and 2000M (which shipped with the laptop originally) have
|
|
been tested with Libreboot.
|
|
|
|
These laptops shipped with eDP and LVDS panels. If you choose to upgrade the
|
|
graphics card, make sure it is compatible with the panel you have. Use the
|
|
following command to check:
|
|
|
|
xrandr
|
|
|
|
Or if using Wayland:
|
|
|
|
wlr-randr
|
|
|
|
If you have "LVDS-1 connected", your GPU upgrade needs to support LVDS.
|
|
According to [this forum thread](https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/2011-imac-graphics-card-upgrade.1596614/),
|
|
AMD's 1st gen GCN cards are the newest and most powerful to support LVDS.
|
|
If you have an eDP panel, you should be able to use newer cards than that.
|
|
|
|
As long as the card has an onboard VBIOS, Libreboot will execute it and
|
|
everything *should* work. **However, this is currently untested.**
|
|
|
|
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.**
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For information about programming the chip, please refer to [25xx NOR flash
|
|
instructions](../install/spi.md).
