the blob created from the script prior to this change is not confirmed working this blob is now confirmed working if following the instructions from libreboot https://libreboot.org/docs/install/t480.html#update-lenovo-firmware-first Signed-off-by: gaspar-ilom <gasparilom@riseup.net>
T480 Blobs
The following blobs are needed:
ifd.bingbe.binme.bintb.bin(optional but recommended flashing this blob to the separate Thunderbolt SPI chip to fix a bug in the original firmware)
me.bin: automatically extract, neuter and deguard
download_clean_me.sh : Download vulnerable ME from Dell, verify checksum, extract ME, neuter ME and trim it, then apply the deguard patch and place it into me.bin
The ME blob dumped in this directory comes from the following link: https://dl.dell.com/FOLDER04573471M/1/Inspiron_5468_1.3.0.exe
This provides ME version 11.6.0.1126. In this version CVE-2017-5705 has not yet been fixed. See https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-00086.html Therefore, Bootguard can be disabled by deguard with a patched ME.
As specified in the first link, this ME can be deployed to:
- T480
- T480s
ifd.bin and gbe.bin
Both blobs were taken from libreboot: 68ebde2f03/config/ifd/t480
The GBE MAC address was forged to: 00:DE:AD:C0:FF:EE MAC
tb.bin
This blob was extracted from https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles/n24th13w.exe It is zero-padded to 1MB and should be flashed to the Thunderbolt SPI chip, which is not the same as the 16MB chip to which the heads rom is flashed. External flashing is recommended as the only way to reliably fix a bug in the original Thunderbolt software on the SPI chip. You can find a guide here: https://osresearch.net/T430-maximized-flashing/

CAVEATS for the board:
See the board configs boards/t480-[hotp-]maximized/t480-[hotp-]maximized.config:
This board is vulnerable to a TPM reset attack, i.e. the PCRs are reset while the system is running. This attack can be used to bypass measured boot when an attacker succeeds at modifying the SPI flash. Also it can be used to extract FDE keys from a TPM. The related coreboot issue contains more information: https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/576 Make sure you understand the implications of the attack for your threat model before using this board.
