This repository also contains number of tools and utilities for examining and modifying Thinkpad Embedded Controller firmware. Including: * radare projects with partial disassembly of several thinkpads EC firmware * scripts for downloading the ISO image and extracting the firmware * script for patching the firmware * documentation on the tables found in the firmware (TODO) Radare: ------- To use the radare projects, first install the project files: make install.radare.projects Then ensure you have the image file(s): make x220.8DHT34WW.img x230.G2HT35WW.img x260.R02HT29W.img Then start radare with one of these projects: radare -p x230.G2HT35WW Makefile targets: ----------------- If you expect to do development work, the following make targets are probably useful: To list the available raw image files and FL2 files: make list_images To fetch the firmware from Lenovo, extract, decrypt and patch it, ready for more patching: make x230.G2HT35WW.img To just get the decrypted firmware file (with the same filename as above), before any patches applied, the pseudo make x230.G2HT35WW.img.prepatch To create a new FL2, ready for flashing: make x230.G2HT35WW.s01D3000.FL2 To update your firmware, copy the FL2 file generated above and the dosflash.exe utility to a DOS boot disk and then use a command similar to: dosflash /sd /ipf ec /file s01D3000.FL2 References: ----------- http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=120776 http://www.zmatt.net/unlocking-my-lenovo-laptop-part-3/ http://plan9.stanleylieber.com/hardware/thinkpad/x230/x230.schematics.pdf
