Intel (Converged Security) Management Engine: Drivers, Firmware and Tools (2-15)

FWUpdLcl64_15.0.49.2573.rar (319.9 KB)

Why are ME update files for the stock FWUpdLclMe tool are bigger than the actual ME region on the flash chip? Any pre-existing write ups on this?

For example, ME 8.1 for HP Z620, update file is 7,843,840 bytes.

The ME area of course is quite a bit smaller, 5,287,936 bytes:
Fixed: Yes
Base: 5000h
Address: FF005000h
Offset: 5000h
Full size: 50B000h (5287936)

11.6.20.1221.rar (4.3 MB)

A post was merged into an existing topic: [Guide] Clean Dumped Intel Engine (CS)ME/(CS)TXE Regions with Data Initialization

11.8.96.4657_CON_H_DA_PRD_RGN.bin can be flashed in Linux using Intel (R) Firmware Update Utility Version: 11.8.94.4518
I don’t have another newer version for Linux, does anyone?

@ibsajc

The utility doesn’t need to match the FW Image version.
It’s not a requirement for flashing, its common sense to use the closest version to the FW image, preventing discrepancies.

EDIT: When available…usually a user will share it. Or start digging yourself for it, the forum will appreciate your effort and findings…

That’s why I asked if there is a newer version.

EDIT: Until now I was looking for them from Fujitsu, HP, but lately they haven’t appeared anymore!

Guys need help asap!
My FwUpdLclApp.efi does not contain help/usage/exp info.
Never seen such keys before, FwUpdLclApp.efi /p /s /i /d /g
Can someone explain this ?

Hi,

Does anyone know if there’s a comprehensive list of ‘CSME System Tools’ versions to download, either here or from another download store?

Thanks

hi,My motherboard is GA-B85M-D3H v1.2. The official bios shows that the ME version is 9.0.30.1482 (5MB). I downloaded ME 9.0 5MB v9.0.31.3488.rar from mega (8.82M after decompression). When writing with fptw, it warns that the file size is incorrect, so I terminate the writing. Is this version compatible?

Don’t use an unconfigured firmware as a region

Thank you! I have no problem using these ME when updating other Asus motherboards. I have not tried updating ME for Gigabyte yet.

Updating is done by FWUpdLcl, the files from the repository can be used for this.

Writing a ME region via fptw needs the ME to be re-initialized as described in this guide:

I can’t find the ME file that can be used on this motherboard.
The ME version I backed up with fptw for this motherboard is: 9.0.30.1482 (5MB)
The ME 9.0 5MB v9.0.31.3488.rar provided on mega is 8.82M after decompression
The size difference is too big, it feels unsuitable for this motherboard?

Irrelevant, FIT will correct the size, working on region only one might add padding manually.

Regular update using repository to 9.1.40.1000

This is on a GA-B85M-DS3H-A recently updated and flashed.

This is the last official version of the bios:
mb_bios_ga-b85m-d3h_f15.zip (4.9 MB)
This is the backup I made using fptw after updating nvme:
d3h_nvme.rar (4.7 MB)

The size of the ME file exported by uefitool is about 5MB, so I have been looking for a new version of ME with a size of 5MB

Please help me see which version of ME is suitable for updating this motherboard, thank you!

Use MEA to identify the ME SKU of the bios and choose the appropriate update from the repository.
That’s it, nothing more to do if this is just a regular update and system bios integrity is OK.
