# Purism Librem 14
|
||||
|
||||
This page describes how to run coreboot on the [Purism Librem 14].
|
||||
|
||||
```eval_rst
|
||||
+------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
|
||||
| CPU | Intel Core i7-10710U |
|
||||
+------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
|
||||
| PCH | Comet Lake LP Premium (Comet Lake-U) |
|
||||
+------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
|
||||
| EC | ITE IT8528E |
|
||||
+------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
|
||||
| Coprocessor | Intel Management Engine (CSME 14.x) |
|
||||
+------------------+------------------------------------------------------+

|

|
||||
## Required proprietary blobs
|
||||
|
||||
To build a minimal working coreboot image some blobs are required (assuming
|
||||
only the BIOS region is being modified).
|
||||
|
||||
```eval_rst
|
||||
+-----------------+---------------------------------+---------------------+
|
||||
| Binary file | Apply | Required / Optional |
|
||||
+=================+=================================+=====================+
|
||||
| FSP-M, FSP-S | Intel Firmware Support Package | Required |
|
||||
+-----------------+---------------------------------+---------------------+
|
||||
| microcode | CPU microcode | Required |
|
||||
+-----------------+---------------------------------+---------------------+
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
FSP-M and FSP-S are obtained after splitting the CometLake1 FSP binary
|
||||
(done automatically by the coreboot build system and included into the
|
||||
image) from the `3rdparty/fsp` submodule.
|
||||
|
||||
Microcode updates are automatically included into the coreboot image by the
|
||||
build system from the `3rdparty/intel-microcode` submodule. Official Purism
|
||||
release images may include newer microcode, which is instead pulled from
|
||||
Purism's [purism-blobs] repository.
|
||||
|
||||
A VGA Option ROM is not required to boot, as the Librem 14 uses libgfxinit.
|
||||
|
||||
## Intel Management Engine
|
||||
|
||||
The Librem 14 uses version 14.x of the Intel Management Engine (ME) /
|
||||
Converged Security Engine (CSE). The ME/CSE is disabled using the High
|
||||
Assurance Platform (HAP) bit, which puts the ME into a disabled state after
|
||||
platform bring-up (BUP) and disables all PCI/HECI interfaces.
|
||||
This can be verified checking the coreboot console log, using coreboot’s
|
||||
cbmem utility:
|
||||
|
||||
`sudo ./cbmem -1 | grep 'ME:'`
|
||||
|
||||
provided coreboot has been patched to output the ME status even when the
|
||||
PCI device is not visible/active (as it is in Purism's release builds).
|
||||
|
||||
## Flashing coreboot
|
||||
|
||||
### Internal programming
|
||||
|
||||
The main SPI flash can be accessed using [flashrom]. No official flashrom
|
||||
release supports the CometLake-U SoC yet, so it must be built from source.
|
||||
Version v1.2-107-gb1f858f or later is needed. Firmware an be easily
|
||||
flashed with internal programmer (either BIOS region or full image).
|
||||
|
||||
### External programming
|
||||
|
||||
The system has an internal flash chip which is a 16 MiB soldered SOIC-8
|
||||
chip, and has a diode attached to the VCC line for in-system programming.
|
||||
This chip is located on the bottom side of the board, in between the CPU
|
||||
heatsink and the left cooling fan, just above the left SO-DIMM slot.
|
||||
|
||||
One has to remove all 9 screws from the bottom cover, then disconnect the
|
||||
battery from the mainboard (bottom left of mainboard). Use a SOIC-8 chip
|
||||
clip to program the chip (a Gigadevice GD25Q127C (3.3V) - [datasheet][GD25Q127C]).
|
||||
|
||||
The EC firmware is stored on a separate SOIC-8 chip (a Gigadevices GD25Q80C),
|
||||
located underneath the Wi-Fi module, below the left cooling fan.
|
||||
|
||||
## Known issues
|
||||
|
||||
* Automatic detection of external audio input/output via the 3.5mm jack
|
||||
does not currently work.
|
||||
* Touchpad interrupt non-functional when correctly configured as active-low
|
||||
and level-triggered, so configured as active-high instead. This causes an
|
||||
interrupt storm and prevents the CPU from idling due to moderate (10-20%)
|
||||
usage on a single core.
|
||||
* PL1/PL2 limited to 15W/20W by charger and battery discharge capability,
|
||||
not SoC or thermal design.
|
||||
|
||||
## Working
|
||||
|
||||
* Internal display with libgfxinit, VGA option ROM, or FSP/GOP init
|
||||
* External displays via HDMI, USB-C Alt-Mode
|
||||
* SeaBIOS (1.14), Tianocore (CorebootPayloadPkg), and Heads payloads
|
||||
* Ethernet, m.2 2230 Wi-Fi
|
||||
* System firmware updates via flashrom
|
||||
* M.2 storage (NVMe, SATA III)
|
||||
* Built-in audio (speakers, microphone)
|
||||
* SMBus (reading SPD from DIMMs)
|
||||
* Initialization with FSP 2.0 (CometLake1)
|
||||
* S3 Suspend/Resume
|
||||
* Booting PureOS 10.x, Debian 11.x, Qubes 4.0.4, Windows 10 20H2
|
||||
|
||||
## Not working / untested
|
||||
|
||||
* N/A
