@Lost_N_BIOS This time it’s really not too easy to understand what you mean/ did…
OK, but that’s a "clean" thing, right? You put in a complete bios image, update, build outimage. Then you put in generated outimage.bin, save settings and compare original and new xml- files and they don’t match- as shown on the picture. Is that correctly understood?
You cant (for newer ME firmware >=12) use Extracted regions directly for FWupdate. - You don’t have to care about most of the settings if you followed the guide. (I’m not sure what FIT does when generating update files?) - If you reopen an update binary in FIT again, you’ll possibly see some/ most settings set back to standard configuration since they simply weren’t stored in the update file?
If you look at the structure it seems the update file don’t have any ‘bootable’ configuration but a much larger set of code/ firmware bricks, see attaached text files.
You don’t need any basic settings for generating an ME update v12, see Plutomaniacs guide. The post with this guide was edited shortly, I think this part is new(er),and I think there’s few possibilities for misunderstanding/ wrong interpretation left. Only thing I wasn’t aware off: "FWUpdate Support" has Yes, No and Impossible as possible answers- A CSME with "No" can be used by FIT to build an update, a CSME with "Impossible" can’t.
