Well that error is not helpful at all. Did you try the EVGA config but with only the FeatureShipState from ASUS (without changing OEMSkuRule)? If that does not help either, here are all FPT commands which could of interest for NVAR manipulation:

  • -CVARS → Lists all the current manufacturing line configurable variables.
  • -U → Update. Updates the NVARs in the flash. The user can update the multiple FOVs by specifying their names and values in the parameter file. The parameter file must be in an INI file format (the same format generated by the –cfggen command). The -in option is used to specify the input file.
  • -O → Output File. The file used by FPT to output NVAR information.
  • -IN → Input File. The file used by FPT for NVAR input. This option flag must be followed by a text file (i.e., fpt –u –in FPT.cfg). The tool updates the NVARs contained in the text file with the values provided in the input file. User can also use FPT –cfggen to generate this file.
  • -N → Name. Specifies the name of the NVAR that the user wants to update in the image file or flash. The name flag must be used with Value (-v).
  • -V → Value. Specifies the value for the NVAR variable. The name of variable is specified in the Name flag. The Value flag must follow the Name flag.
  • -CFGGEN → NVAR Input file generation option. This creates a file which can be used to update the line configurable NVARS.
  • -R → NVAR Read. FPT uses this option to retrieve NVAR value for a specific NVAR file name. The value of the variable is displayed. By default, all non- secure variables are displayed in clear-text and secure NVAR will be displayed in HASH. The -hashed option can be used to display the hash of a value instead of the clear-text value.
  • -VARS → Display Supported Variables. FPT uses this option to display all variables supported for the -R and -COMPARE commands.
  • -COMMIT → Commit. FPT uses this option to commit all setfile commands. NVARs changes to NVAR and cause relevant reset accordingly. If no pending variable changes are present, Intel ME does not reset and the tool displays the status of the commit operation.
  • -COMMITFPF → Commits NVAR values to FPF via firmware and prevents further modification of FPFs.
  • -READFPF → Displays programmed FPF values.
  • -COMPAREFPF → Compare the FPF with a value passed in by the user.
  • -FPFS → Displays a list of the FPFs.
