Lenovo Z50-70 Configuration

A while ago I received a Lenovo Z50-70 via the donations team of the FreeBSD project. On this page you find detailed instructions on how to configure FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE for this kind of notebook. In general everything is supported, even bluetooth with some firmware tricks. See below.

/boot/loader.conf configuration

# Load ZFS and encryption modules at boot time
zfs_load="YES"
aesni_load="YES"
ichsmb_load="YES"

# Load modules for temperature monitoring at boot time
coretemp_load="YES"
cpuctl_load="YES"

# Load modules for WiFi WPA PSK at boot time
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"

# Load the current Intel microcode, this will not only
# prevent side channel attacks it also make the system
# feel way more snappier. The firmware can be installed
# via 'pkg install devcpu-data'
cpu_microcode_load="YES"
cpu_microcode_name="/boot/firmware/intel-ucode.bin"

vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable="0"

# Disable kernel boot messages and show a nice FreeBSD logo
# at boot time. Kernel messages can be shown by utilizing
# dmesg(8).
boot_mute="YES"

# Power down devices without attached drivers.
hw.pci.do_power_nodriver=3

/etc/rc.conf system configuration

# Set the hostname and the keyboard layout
hostname="binky.ttyv0.de"
keymap="de.kbd"

# Standard Daemons
local_unbound_enable="YES"

# Network Setup
ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
ifconfig_re0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"
ifconfig_re0_alias1="inet6 fec0:XXXX:X::X prefixlen 64"
ipv6_privacy="YES"
  
# WiFi Setup, regdomain settings are necessary to use the correct
# WiFi channels in a particular country.
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
create_args_wlan0="ecm regdomain ETSI country DE"
  

# Power Management settings, keep the rate per default at minimum
# to save power and keep the coolers quiet.
powerd_enable="YES"
powerd_flags="-a adaptive -b min"
  
# Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="AUTO"
  
# Use in-memory tmpfs, see /etc/fstab for the configuration
tmpfs="YES"
clear_tmp_enable="YES"
  
# Use only a local sendmail for mbox delivery of cron mails
sendmail_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="YES"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="YES"
  
# Enable system accounting and enable the linux emulation layer,
# aka linuxulator.
accounting_enable="YES"
linux_enable="YES"

# Load the drm-kmod Intel HD graphics support
kld_list="i915kms"

Bluetooth support

Bluetooth in general is supported, but the port which downloads the firmware files disappeared from the ports tree due to a lack of a maintainer. However it is still possible to enabled it. First the following file have to be created with the following entry. devd(8) will do the rest. The description on how to retrieve the firmware files is descripted below.

/etc/devd/ath3k.conf

  notify 100 {
    match "system"		"USB";
    match "subsystem"	"DEVICE";
    match "type"		"ATTACH";
    match "vendor"		"0x0cf3";
    match "product"		"(0x0036|0x3004|0x3005|0x3008|0x311d|0x311e|0x311f|0x3121|0x817a|0x817b|0xe003|0xe004|0xe005|0xe006)";
    action "/usr/sbin/ath3kfw -d $cdev -f /usr/local/lib/firmware";
  };

BT firmware location /usr/local/lib/firmware/ar3k/

You first have to checkout the linux-firmware git repository with the following command. 

git checkout https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git

Afterwards you copy the following files to firmware location mentioned in the header of that section. After a reboot the bluetooth supported should be working. See the end of the dmesg output, device ubt0.
