+
+## Flashing instructions
+
+HP EliteBook 8760w has an 8MB SOIC-8 flash chip on the bottom of the
+mainboard. You just need to remove the service cover, and use an SOIC-8
+clip to read and flash the chip.

+# HP EliteBook series
+
+This document is about HP EliteBook series laptops up to Ivy Bridge era
+which use SMSC KBC1126 as embedded controller.
+
+## EC
+
+SMSC KBC1098/KBC1126 has been used in HP EliteBooks for many generations.
+They use similar EC firmware that will load other code and data from the
+SPI flash chip, so we need to put some firmware blobs to the coreboot image.
+
+The following document takes EliteBook 2760p as an example.
+
+First, you need to extract the blobs needed by EC firmware using util/kbc1126.
+You can extract them from your backup firmware image, or firmware update
+provided by HP with [unar] as follows:
+
+```bash
+wget https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp79501-80000/sp79710.exe
+unar sp79710.exe
+${COREBOOT_DIR}/util/kbc1126/kbc1126_ec_dump sp79710/Rompaq/68SOU.BIN
+mv 68SOU.BIN.fw1 ${COREBOOT_DIR}/2760p-fw1.bin
+mv 68SOU.BIN.fw2 ${COREBOOT_DIR}/2760p-fw2.bin
+```
+
+When you config coreboot, select:
+
+```text
+Chipset --->
+ [*] Add firmware images for KBC1126 EC
+ (2760p-fw1.bin) KBC1126 firmware #1 path and filename
+ (2760p-fw2.bin) KBC1126 filename #2 path and filename
+```
+
+## Super I/O
+
+EliteBook 8000 series laptops have SMSC LPC47n217 Super I/O to provide
+a serial port and a parallel port, you can debug the laptop via this
+serial port.
+
+## porting
+
+To port coreboot to an HP EliteBook laptop, you need to do the following:
+
+- select Kconfig option `EC_HP_KBC1126`
+- select Kconfig option `SUPERIO_SMSC_LPC47N217` if there is LPC47n217 Super I/O
+- initialize EC and Super I/O in romstage
+- add EC and Super I/O support to devicetree.cb
+
+To get the related values for EC in devicetree.cb, you need to extract the EFI
+module EcThermalInit from the vendor UEFI firmware with [UEFITool]. Usually,
+`ec_data_port`, `ec_cmd_port` and `ec_ctrl_reg` has the following values:
+
+- For xx60 series: 0x60, 0x64, 0xca
+- For xx70 series: 0x62, 0x66, 0x81
+
+You can use [radare2] and the following [r2pipe] Python script to find
+these values from the EcThermalInit EFI module:
+
+```python
+#!/usr/bin/env python
+
+# install radare2 and use `pip3 install --user r2pipe` to install r2pipe
+
+import r2pipe
+import sys
+
+if len(sys.argv) < 2:
+ fn = "ecthermalinit.efi"
+else:
+ fn = sys.argv[1]
+
+r2 = r2pipe.open(fn)
+r2.cmd("aa")
+entryf = r2.cmdj("pdfj")
+
+for insn in entryf["ops"]:
+ if "lea r8" in insn["opcode"]:
+ _callback = insn["ptr"]
+ break
+
+r2.cmd("af @ {}".format(_callback))
+callbackf_insns = r2.cmdj("pdfj @ {}".format(_callback))["ops"]
+
+def find_port(addr):
+ ops = r2.cmdj("pdfj @ {}".format(addr))["ops"]
+ for insn in ops:
+ if "lea r8d" in insn["opcode"]:
+ return insn["ptr"]
+
+ctrl_reg_found = False
+
+for i in range(0, len(callbackf_insns)):
+ if not ctrl_reg_found and "mov cl" in callbackf_insns[i]["opcode"]:
+ ctrl_reg_found = True
+ ctrl_reg = callbackf_insns[i]["ptr"]
+ print("ec_ctrl_reg = 0x%02x" % ctrl_reg)
+ cmd_port = find_port(callbackf_insns[i+1]["jump"])
+ data_port = find_port(callbackf_insns[i+3]["jump"])
+ print("ec_cmd_port = 0x%02x\nec_data_port = 0x%02x" % (cmd_port, data_port))
+
+ if "mov bl" in callbackf_insns[i]["opcode"]:
+ ctrl_value = callbackf_insns[i]["ptr"]
+ print("ec_fan_ctrl_value = 0x%02x" % ctrl_value)
