The flash layout of the OEM firmware is as follows:

00000000:00000fff fd
00001000:00002fff gbe
00003000:004fffff me
00500000:00bfffff bios

After flashing coreboot, you may need to re-plug the AC adapter to make the laptop able to power on.

Known Issues

  • Cannot get the mainboard serial number from the mainboard: the OEM UEFI firmware gets the serial number from an "emulated EEPROM" via I/O port 0x1630/0x1634, but it's still unknown how to make it work
  • The dGPU does not currently work in Windows.
