heads/blobs/xx20

To build for X220 we need to have the following files in this folder:

• me.bin - ME binary that has been stripped and truncated with me7_update_parser
• gbe.bin - Network card blob from the original firmware
• ifd.bin - Flash layout file has been provided as text

The ME blobs dumped in this directory come from the following link: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-laptops/thinkpad-x220/downloads/driver-list/component?name=Chipset

This provides latest ME version 7.1.91.3272, for which only the BUP region will be kept as non-removable: Here is what Lenovo provides as a Summary of Changes: <7.1.91.3272> (83RF46WW)

• (Fix) Fixed CVE-2017-5689: Escalation of privilege vulnerability in Intel(R) Active Management Technology (AMT), Intel(R) Standard Manageability (ISM), and Intel(R) Small Business Technology.

1.0:Automatically extract and neuter me update then add partition table to me.bin download_parse_me.sh : Downloads latest ME update from lenovo verify checksum, extract ME, neuters ME, add partition table relocate and trim it and place it into me.bin

1.1: Manually generating blobs

Manually generate me.bin: You can arrive to the same result of the following me.bin by doing the following manually: wget https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/83rf46ww.exe && innoextract 83rf46ww.exe && python3 blobs/xx20/me7_update_parser.py -O blobs/xx20/me.bin app/ME7_5M_UPD_Production.bin

ifd.bin is from an X220 and already ME partition resided to the new minimized size. The layout.txt has these updated sized and can be used with ifdtool to modify partition if needed.

Manually regenerate gbe.bin: blobs/x220/gbe.bin is generated per bincfg from the following coreboot patch: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/44510 And then by following those instructions:

Use this target to generate GbE for X220/x230

gen-gbe-82579LM: cd build/coreboot-4.8.1/util/bincfg/ make ./bincfg gbe-82579LM.spec gbe-82579LM.set gbe1.bin # duplicate binary as per spec cat gbe1.bin gbe1.bin > ../../../../blobs/xx20/gbe.bin rm -f gbe1.bin cd -
