This adds a driver for the ITE IT5570E EC in combination with Clevo
vendor EC firmware. The interface is mostly identical on various laptop
models. Thus, we have implemented one common driver to support them all.
The following features were implemented:
- Basics like battery, ac, etc.
- Suspend/hibernate support: S0ix, S3*, S4/S5
- Save/restore of keyboard backlight level during S0ix without the need
for Clevo vendor software (ControlCenter)
- Flexicharger
- Fn keys (backlight, volume, airplane etc.)
- Various configuration options via Kconfig / CMOS options
* Note: S3 support works at least on L140CU (Cometlake), but it's not
enabled for this board because S0ix is used.
Not implemented, yet:
- Type-C UCSI: the EC firmware seems to be buggy (with vendor fw, too)
- dGPU support is WIP
An example of how this driver can be hooked up by a board can be seen in
in change CB:59850, where support for the L140MU is added.
Known issues:
- Touchpad toggle:
The touchpad toggle (Fn-F1) has two modes, Ctrl-Alt-F9 mode and
keycodes 0xf7/0xf8 mode. Ctrl-Alt-F9 is the native touchpad toggle
shortcut on Windows. On Linux this would switch to virtual console 9,
if enabled. Thus, one should use the keycodes mode and add udev
rules as specified in [1]. If VT9 is disabled, Ctrl-Alt-F9 mode could
be used to set up a keyboard shortcut command toggling the touchpad.
- Multi-fan systems
The Clevo NV41MZ (w/o dGPU) has two fans that should be in-sync.
However, the second fan does not spin. This needs further
investigation.

Testing the various functionalities of this EC driver was done in the
changes hooking up this driver for the boards.

coreboot README
coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload.
With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.
coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.
Payloads
After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.
See https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.
Supported Hardware
coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.
For details please consult:
Build Requirements
- make
- gcc / g++
Because Linux distribution compilers tend to use lots of patches. coreboot
does lots of "unusual" things in its build system, some of which break due
to those patches, sometimes by gcc aborting, sometimes - and that's worse -
by generating broken object code.
Two options: use our toolchain (eg. make crosstools-i386) or enable the
ANY_TOOLCHAINKconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case). - iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
- pkg-config
- libssl-dev (openssl)
Optional:
- gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
- ncurses (for
make menuconfigandmake nconfig) - flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)
Building coreboot
Please consult https://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.
Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU.
Please see https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.
