16EC firmware can be retrieved from the HP firmware update image, or the firmware
17backup of the laptop. EC Firmware is part of the coreboot build process.
18The guide on extracting EC firmware and using it to build coreboot is in
19document [HP Laptops with KBC1126 Embedded Controller](hp_kbc1126_laptops).

21Intel ME firmware is in the flash chip. It is not needed when building coreboot.

26covered by the base enclosure, which needs to be removed according to
27the [Maintenance and Service Guide] to access the flash chip. Unlike
28other variants, the flash chip on 2170p is socketed, so it can be taken
29off and operated with an external programmer.

31Pin 1 of the flash chip is at the side near the CPU.
