### Flash layout
|
||||
The original layout of the flash should look like this:
|
||||
```
|
||||
00000000:00000fff fd
|
||||
00510000:007fffff bios
|
||||
00003000:0050ffff me
|
||||
00001000:00002fff gbe
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Internal programming
|
||||
|
||||
The SPI flash can be accessed using [flashrom].
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ flashrom -p internal -c MX25L6406E/MX25L6408E -w coreboot.rom
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After shorting the FDO jumper you gain access to the full flash, but you
|
||||
still cannot write in the bios region due to SPI protected ranges.
|
||||
|
||||
**Position of FDO jumper close to the IO and second fan connector**

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
To write to the bios region you can use an [IFD Hack] originally developed
|
||||
for MacBooks, but with modified values described in this guide.
|
||||
You should read both guides before attempting the procedure.
|
||||
|
||||
Since you can still write in the flash descriptor, you can shrink
|
||||
the ME and then move the bios region into where the ME originally was.
|
||||
coreboot does not by default restrict writing to any part of the flash, so
|
||||
you will first flash a small coreboot build and after it boots, flash
|
||||
the full one.
|
||||
|
||||
The temporary flash layout with the neutered ME firmware should look like this:
|
||||
```
|
||||
00000000:00000fff fd
|
||||
00023000:001fffff bios
|
||||
00003000:00022fff me
|
||||
00001000:00002fff gbe
|
||||
00200000:007fffff pd
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It is very important to use these exact numbers or you will need to fix it
|
||||
using external flashing, but you should already be familiar with the risks
|
||||
if you got this far.
|
||||
|
||||
The temporary ROM chip size to set in menuconfig is 2 MB but the default
|
||||
CBFS size is too large for that, you can use up to about 0x1D0000.
|
||||
|
||||
When building both the temporary and the permanent installation, don't forget
|
||||
to also add the gigabit ethernet configuration when adding the flash descriptor
|
||||
and ME firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
You can pad the ROM to the required 8MB with zeros using:
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=6M.bin bs=1024 count=6144
|
||||
$ cat coreboot.rom 6M.bin > coreboot8.rom
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to continue using the neutered ME firmware use this flash layout
|
||||
for stage 2:
|
||||
```
|
||||
00000000:00000fff fd
|
||||
00023000:007fffff bios
|
||||
00003000:00022fff me
|
||||
00001000:00002fff gbe
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use the original ME firmware use the original flash layout.
