10 ## Required proprietary blobs
12 The following blobs are required to operate the hardware:
16 EC firmware can be retrieved from the HP firmware update image, or the firmware
17 backup of the laptop. EC Firmware is part of the coreboot build process.
18 The guide on extracting EC firmware and using it to build coreboot is in
19 document [HP Laptops with KBC1126 Embedded Controller](hp_kbc1126_laptops).
21 Intel ME firmware is in the flash chip. It is not needed when building coreboot.
25 The flash chip is located between the memory slots, WWAN card and CPU,
26 covered by the base enclosure, which needs to be removed according to
27 the [Maintenance and Service Guide] to access the flash chip. Unlike
28 other variants, the flash chip on 2170p is socketed, so it can be taken
29 off and operated with an external programmer.
31 Pin 1 of the flash chip is at the side near the CPU.
