10## Required proprietary blobs
11
12The following blobs are required to operate the hardware:
131. EC firmware
142. Intel ME firmware
15
16EC firmware can be retrieved from the HP firmware update image, or the firmware
17backup of the laptop. EC Firmware is part of the coreboot build process.
18The guide on extracting EC firmware and using it to build coreboot is in
19document [HP Laptops with KBC1126 Embedded Controller](hp_kbc1126_laptops).
20
21Intel ME firmware is in the flash chip. It is not needed when building coreboot.
22
23## Programming
24
25The flash chip is located between the memory slots and the PCH,
26covered by the base enclosure, which needs to be removed according to
27the [Maintenance and Service Guide] to access the flash chip. An SPI
28flash programmer using 3.3V voltage such as a ch341a programmer, and
29an SOIC-8 clip can be used to read and flash the chip in-circuit.
30
31Pin 1 of the flash chip is at the side near the PCH.
