+
+## Installation instructions
+* The standard method is to only flash the 2MiB BIOS region. In that case it's
+not needed to extract blobs from vendor firmware and internal flashing is
+sufficient.
+* To flash the whole chip (e.g. to disable ME) blobs are needed to build
+coreboot. Blobs can be extracted with util/ifdtool from 4MiB full dump image
+(see below). Its recommended to include the VGA BIOS as well (4MiB write only).
+Kconfig is prepared already if it gets enabled (path and 8086,0102).
+```
+coreboot/3rdparty/blobs/mainboard/msi/ms7707
+├── descriptor.bin
+├── gbe.bin
+├── me.bin
+└── vgabios.bin
+```
+* Never write a full 4MiB image if blobs are not included. The generated
+coreboot.rom file is always 4MiB but the 2MiB flash command below will only
+flash the last 2MiB (BIOS) block.
+* The J1-Jumper sets the 'Flash Descriptor Override Strap-Pin' and enables
+full 4MiB access for internal flasher (read and write).
+* **Write BIOS-range** (2MiB) with J1-Jumper=off (as on picture/default
+ position):
+```
+flashrom -p internal:ich_spi_force=yes --noverify-all --ifd -i bios -w coreboot.rom
+```
+* **Read full dump** (4MiB) with J1-jumper=on:
+```
+flashrom -p internal -r original.rom
+```
+* **Write full dump** (4MiB) with J1-Jumper=on:
+```
+flashrom -p internal -w coreboot.rom
+```
+* After successful flashing turn main power off, wait some seconds to drain
+the capacitors, pull the battery and set the JBAT (clrcmos) jumper for some
+seconds. Setting the jumper alone is not enough (the Fintek is VBAT backed).
+Put all back in place and restart the board. It might need 1-2 AC power cycles
+to reinitialize (running at full fan speed - don't panic).
+* External flashing has been tested with RPi2 without main power connected.
+3.3V provided by RPi2. Read more about flashing methods [here](https://doc.coreboot.org/flash_tutorial/index.html).
+* In case of going back to proprietary BIOS create/save cmos settings as early
+as possible (do not leave BIOS on first start without saving settings).
+The BIOS might corrupt nvram (not cmos!) and leave the system in a dead state
+that needs an external flasher to revive. If stuck, reset the Fintek (see
+above) and restart the system several times and/or try setting J1 to
+temporarily disable ME.
+
+![](J1-flash-protect.jpg)
+
+* The JSPI1 header (5×2 2.0mm pitch pin header) for external flashing is
+directly connected to the flash chip. Additional 3.3V to /HOLD and /WP is not
+needed (internally re-routed already).
