+# Dell Latitude E7240
+
+This page is about the notebook [Dell Latitude E7240].
+
+## Release status
+
+Dell Latitude E7240 was released in 2013 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. mrc.bin
+2. Intel ME firmware
+
+Memory reference code in mrc.bin is used to initialize the Haswell platform.
+You need this blob to build a working coreboot image. Please read
+[mrc.bin](../../northbridge/intel/haswell/mrc.bin) for instructions on
+retrieving and using it.
+
+Intel ME firmware is in the flash chip. It is not needed when building coreboot.
+It can be extracted from the OEM firmware. You can also flash only the BIOS
+region to leave Intel ME firmware untouched.
+
+## Programming
+
+The laptop can be flashed internally under OEM firmware using [dell-flash-unlock].
+
+To flash with an external programmer, you need to remove the battery and the base cover.
