# HP Compaq Elite 8300 USDT

This page describes how to run coreboot on the Compaq Elite 8300 USDT desktop from HP.

## Flashing coreboot

Type | Value
--- | ---
Socketed flash | no
Model | W25Q128BVFG
Size | 16 MiB
In circuit flashing | yes
Package | SOIC-16
Write protection | No
Dual BIOS feature | No

### Internal programming

Internal programming is possible. Shorting the Flash Descriptor Override (FDO) jumper bypasses all write protections.

### External programming

Remove the lid. The flash chip can be found on the edge opposite to the CPU. There is a spot for a “ROM RCVRY” header next to the flash chip but it is unpopulated. If you don’t feel like using a clip, you can easily solder a standard pin header there yourself and use it for programming.

Programming powers some parts of the board. Programming when Wake on LAN is active works great.

## Technology

Northbridge | Intel Sandy Bridge-specific documentation
Southbridge | bd82x6x
CPU | model_206ax
SuperIO | NPCD379HAKFX
Coprocessor | Intel ME

### SuperIO

This board has a Nuvoton NPCD379 SuperIO chip. Fan speed and PS/2 keyboard work fine using coreboot’s existing code for NPCD378.
