Hello plutomaniac,
Sorry for bothering again: I have an Dell E6520 where I want to find out which ME “Edition” was implemented by Dell engineers. If I had to guess it’s the “corporate edition”. But firmware flashing and ‘guessing’ is a bad combination.
What I have already testet:
1) ME Analyzer
I tried 3 BIOS update files from Dell download page (incl. latest v. A21). At least 2 of them have documented Intel ME firmware updates included:
"Updated Intel ME Firmware to 7.1.20.1119"
Aktualisierung der Intel ME Firmware gemäß der Sicherheitsempfehlung CVE-2017-5689 / INTEL-SA-00075.
However ME Analyzer cannot analyze them:
2) MEInfo
I couldn’t find any hint for 1.5 respectively 5MB size…:

Can you or someone else help me finding out which version I have?
