@ -2,9 +2,37 @@ This repository consists of a number of tools and utilities for examining and
modifying Thinkpad Embedded Controller firmware.
Including:
* partial x220 disassembly radare project
* partial x230 disassembly radare project
* radare projects with partial disassembly of several thinkpads
* scripts for downloading the ISO image and extracting the firmware
* script for patching the firmware
* documentation on the tables found in the firmware
* documentation on the tables found in the firmware (TODO)
Quick Start:
To fetch the firmware from Lenovo, extract, decrypt and patch
it, ready for more patching, choose one of:
make x230.G2HT35WW.img
make t430s.G7HT39WW.img
To update the checksums and encrypt the patched firmware, ready to
be inserted into the FL2 file, choose one of:
make x230.G2HT35WW.img.enc
make t430s.G7HT39WW.img.enc
To re-insert the EC firmware into the bios flash file, use a command
similar to the following:
dd if=x230.G2HT35WW.img.enc of=\$01D3000.FL2 conv=notrunc bs=4096 seek=1280
To update your firmware, prepare a DOS boot disk with the FL2 file and
the dosflash.exe utility and then use a command similar to:
dosflash /sd /ipf ec /file $01D3000.FL2
