Please help
So after long hours, i’ve managed to extract the ME info from the code currently running in my machine. Then i also downloaded from Asus the ME update, which comes with a windows only updater .exe, and the .bin file, and they differ when i run them on MEAnalyzer. I’ll try to post all output at the end of this post, but following the OP at " How to use FWUpdate Tool at CSME v12:", the current running .bin says it’s:
║ SKU │ Corporate H ║
║ Chipset Stepping │ B, A ║
While the .bin image offered for download at Asus website is:
║ SKU │ Consumer H ║
║ Chipset │ CNP/CMP-H B,A ║
so which imagefile do i actually need, corporate or consumer, and which chipset do i have CNP or CMP?
Below all output i have gathered, please help…
UPDATE:
in the OP it says: " * From Intel CSME System Tools, go to Flash Image Tool folder and make sure that only two (2) files exist: fit.exe and vsccommn.bin. Otherwise, delete the rest."
but once again, i have no windows. How to do this in linux?
./FWUpdLcl -save ME.bin
./MEAnalyzer ME.bin
