How to dump the BIOS?

I’d like to make a request for unlocking a BIOS, but first I need to dump the BIOS. How can I do that? From what I’ve seen, I need to use FPTW64.exe, the Intel Flash Programming Tool (FPT), but where can I find the version of it that works for me?

Computer: Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58-992L
OS: Windows 11 Home (x64)
Motherboard: ADL Jimny_ADH
Chipset: Intel Alder Lake-P PCH
BIOS Vendor: Insyde
BIOs Version: v2.10
Intel ME Version: 16.1.25.2020 Consumer LP

Many thanks!!

Where did you read about FPT tool?

From some Google searches and also on this article.

There you see, now keep reading the article and you’ll understand what version and how to get it along the small details regarding Intel ME FW 16.

There is no Repository like the FWs v15 and below, so the different tools versions packages are scattered along the thread.

And related Nitro 5 AN515 threads/post

These are not end user public tools and there is no Intel end user repository.
The repositories found on this forum are made from collected resources.

Oh indeed, ok, sorry for the trouble, I found this post with Intel CSME System Tools v16.1.x and that contains my version. I was looking for some official repository (ideally directly from Intel) but this will do the job. Many thanks!!
