# Topton N100 (X2F)2 Firewall Appliance
|
||||
|
||||
This page describes how to run coreboot on the Topton N100.
|
||||
|
||||
```{eval-rst}

## Flashing coreboot
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING:** There are multiple devices from the same vendor with
|
||||
similar name, using different board layout, capabilities and EC/SuperIO.
|
||||
|
||||
Likewise, there are other vendors selling their devices with
|
||||
the same mainboard. According to the sticker on the box: `H30W-N100-226`.
|
||||
|
||||
Please **DO NOT cross-flash firmware on "similar-looking" device**.
|
||||
Doing so **may kill your device**. You have been warned :)
|
||||
|
||||
### Internally
|
||||
|
||||
Vendor of this motherboard hasn't locked any flash regions, resulting
|
||||
in [flashprog] having full access to the SPI chip.
|
||||
Assuming that user had booted Linux with `iomem=relaxed`, they can:
|
||||
- Flash coreboot from stock firmware
|
||||
- Flash stock firmware from coreboot
|
||||
- Update coreboot build to a newer version
|
||||
|
||||
Without opening the case and connecting the SPI flasher.
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that for AlderLake-N platform you will need to use
|
||||
[flashprog] v1.3.0 or newer.
|
||||
|
||||
[flashrom] is broken due to regressions, which results in
|
||||
failed flashes, bricking the device.
|
||||
|
||||
[flashprog] is a better maintained fork of [flashrom], which
|
||||
works flawlessly.
|
||||
|
||||
You can skip extracting `SI_BIOS` and `SI_ME` regions from your ROM
|
||||
and flash coreboot to `SI_BIOS` region by issuing the following command:
|
||||
`flashprog -p internal --ifd -i SI_BIOS -w ./build/coreboot.rom`
|
||||
|
||||
### Externally
|
||||
|
||||
SPI chip on this mainboard is located near the SoC, on the other side
|
||||
of the board (upper-right corner).
|
||||
Please note that SPI voltage on this board is standard 3.3V, despite
|
||||
using mobile SoC.
|
||||
Vendor populated this board with Winbond W25Q128JV chip in SOIC-8 package.
|
||||
|
||||
## Functionality
|
||||
|
||||
### Tested and working
|
||||
|
||||
- All USB ports (including mPCIe)
|
||||
- All NICs (4x Intel I226-V 2.5GbE)
|
||||
- All display outputs (HDMI, DisplayPort)
|
||||
- M.2 NVME (PCIe x2 electrically)
|
||||
- mPCIe WiFi
|
||||
- SATA port
|
||||
- Intel PTT (fTPM 2.0)
|
||||
- PC Speaker (goes beep-boop)
|
||||
- Serial console on the front of the device (RS232 in RJ45 form-factor),
|
||||
"Cisco-style"
|
||||
- PCIe passtrough (NICs to VMs, such as OpenWrt using libvirt)
|
||||
|
||||
- Payload: EDK2, LinuxBoot
|
||||
- OS: Alpine Linux, Windows 11
|
||||
|
||||
### Untested, broken
|
||||
|
||||
- 5G modem on special M.2-like connector (lack hardware for it).
|
||||
- Suspend in Windows 11
|
||||
(might work, but Windows has been tested from USB drive).
