54 You can actually just compile the Libreboot ROM for this, and flash the
55 entire ROM, then flash it. The *coreboot* project proper, has information
56 about this:
48 Coreboot also has some information:

59 51
60 Refer to the coreboot guide for flashing instructions, and you can build the
61 images for it in Libreboot like so:
62
63 ./mk -b coreboot hp2560p_8mb
64
65 More information about building ROM images can be found in
66 the [build guide](../build/).
67
68 This is a *Sandybridge* board which means that a neutered ME image is required
69 if you wish to flash the ME region. Libreboot's build system automatically
70 downloads, neuters (using `me_cleaner`) and inserts this if compiling from
71 source.
72
73 52 If you're using *Libreboot release* ROM images, the ME image has been scrubbed If you're using *Libreboot release* ROM images, the ME image has been scrubbed

81 use the onboard Intel Gigabit Ethernet. You can do this using the information
82 in the same guide linked above, or read the nvmutil manual:

47 HP EliteBook 2570p is a 12.5" laptop very similar to the 2560p.
48 The only real difference seems to be that this shipped with Ivy Bridge
49 processors rather than Sandy Bridge, and has an USB 3.0 port.

55 The following is tested and confirmed working
56 thanks to `Johan Ehnberg (johan@molnix.com)`:
57
58 - Native raminit with 2+2 (matched or unmatched), 2+8 or 8+8 GiB RAM
59 - SeaBIOS and GRUB (booted Devuan and Ubuntu) (corebootfb+txtmode)
60 - S3 suspend to RAM
61 - Backlight control
62 - 2.5" SATA SSD
63 - Optical drive slot
64 - Gigabit Ethernet
65 - Mini-PCIe Wi-Fi
66 - SD card reader
67 - Bluetooth
68 - Touchpad
69 - Headphone jack, speakers and microphone
70 - Webcam
71 - Docking station: all ports except that weird extension port tested,
72 hotplug and unplug work
73 - VGA & DisplayPort
74 - Fn combos, mute button
75 - "Launch browser" button: worked one day, not other.
76 Probably just not configured in OS.
77
78 These were visible on lsusb, but no further tests were performed:
79
80 - Fingerprint sensor
81 - Smart card reader
82 - WWAN (3G modem)
83
84 Untested:
85
86 - Trackpoint (not present on cheap aftermarket keyboard tested)
87 - ExpressCard
88 - eSATA & mSATA (believed to work based on coreboot comments)

97 You can actually just compile the Libreboot ROM for this, and flash the
