+# HP EliteBook 820 G2
+
+This page is about the notebook [HP EliteBook 820 G2].
+
+## Release status
+
+HP EliteBook 820 G2 was released in 2015 and is now end of life.
+It can be bought from a secondhand market like Taobao or eBay.
+
+## Required proprietary blobs
+
+The following blobs are required to operate the hardware:
+
+1. EC firmware
+2. Intel ME firmware
+3. Broadwell mrc.bin and refcode.elf
+
+HP EliteBook 820 G2 uses SMSC MEC1324 as its embedded controller.
+The EC firmware is stored in the flash chip, but we don't need to touch it
+or use it in the coreboot build process.
+
+Intel ME firmware is in the flash chip. It is not needed when building coreboot.
+
+The Broadwell memory reference code binary and reference code blob is needed
+when building coreboot. Read the document [Blobs used in Intel Broadwell boards]
+on how to get these blobs.
+
+## Programming
+
+Before flashing, remove the battery and the hard drive cover according to the
+[Maintenance and Service Guide] of this laptop.
+
+HP EliteBook 820 G2 has two flash chips, a 16MiB system flash, and a 2MiB
+private flash. To install coreboot, we need to program both flash chips.
+Read [HP Sure Start] for detailed information.
+
+![HP EliteBook 820 G2 flash chip](elitebook_820_g2_flash.jpg)
+
+To access the system flash, we need to connect the AC adapter to the machine,
+then clip on the flash chip with an SOIC-8 clip. An [STM32-based flash programmer]
+made with an STM32 development board is tested to work.
+
+To access the private flash chip, we can use a ch341a based flash programmer and
+flash the chip with the AC adapter disconnected.
+
+To flash coreboot on a board running OME firmware, create a backup for both flash
+chips, then do the following:
+
+1. Erase the private flash to disable the IFD protection
+2. Modify the IFD to shrink the BIOS region, so that we can put the firmware outside
+   the protected flash region
+
+To erase the private flash chip, attach it with the flash programmer via the SOIC-8 clip,
+then run:
+
+    flashrom -p <programmer> --erase
+
+To modify the IFD, write the following flash layout to a file:
+
+    00000000:00000fff fd
+    00001000:00002fff gbe
+    00003000:005fffff me
+    00600000:00bfffff bios
+    00eb5000:00ffffff pd
+
+Suppose the above layout file is ``layout.txt`` and the origin content of the system flash
+is in ``factory-sys.rom``, run:
+
+    ifdtool -n layout.txt factory-sys.rom
+
+Then a flash image with a new IFD will be in ``factory-sys.rom.new``.
+
+Flash the IFD of the system flash:
+
+    flashrom -p <programmer> --ifd -i fd -w factory-sys.rom.new
+
+Then flash the coreboot image:
+
+    # first extend the 12M coreboot.rom to 16M
+    fallocate -l 16M build/coreboot.rom
+    flashrom -p <programmer> --ifd -i bios -w build/coreboot.rom
+
+After coreboot is installed, the coreboot firmware can be updated with internal flashing:
+
+    flashrom -p internal --ifd -i bios --noverify-all -w build/coreboot.rom
+
+## Debugging
+
+The board can be debugged with EHCI debug. The EHCI debug port is the USB port on the left.
