@plutomaniac are you aware that “Intel CSME System Tools v11 r25” contains in fact “Intel CSME System Tools v11 r14” folder and it’s content indeed matches “Intel CSME System Tools v11 r14” version? (I checked hashes). The same situation was true for r20. Could you explain this?
I just checked, everything is correct. You must have made some mistake on your end.
Indeed this is very weird issue on my end. Sorry for the noise and thank you for checking this.
Specifically the issue was caused by naming scheme for archives - the archive filename ends with "rXX" (r14, r15 and so on) and my un-archiver treated all subsequent versions as parts of the same archive and showed contents of the lowest version available.

Hello, new member here. I am trying to create a binary file merging the latest CSME binary with the latest PMC binary for my system. I verified that I have the correct binaries. When I run FIT the CSME binary gets loaded into FIT. However, when I drop my PMC binary (CNP_300.2.11.1020_H_B_PRD.bin) in the PMC Binary File field I get errors. My CPU is an i9-9900K on a Z390 mobo. FIT displays it as an Intel(R) Cannonlake H Series Chipset - QM370. I tried Z390 but that didn’t work either for the PMC file. Is this an issue? What can the problem be?

Is Slim compatible with Consumer? Its something new…
@ streetwolf:
Are you drag & dropping the PMC firmware into FIT? You can’t do that. Load it via the “PMC Binary File” field.
@ MonarchX:
It’s not new. Apple systems use Slim.
I was dragging and dropping because I can’t seem to be able to load it as you instructed. Am I supposed to right click on the PMC field and get an option to load the file or is it done another way? I don’t get any menu when I right click.
Also, does it make a difference my CPU is displayed as Cannon Lake instead of Coffee Lake? Should I specify Z390 or does it matter what is specified?
Here are the files I want to merge. Is there anything wrong about them?

Click on the PMC field as to edit it and a browse button will appear on the right. As per the instructions, only the general H or LP category must be set, not actual PCH/SoC.
Hi,Where/how to get PMC Binaries? Or those are really needed? Can’t update without it?
I found it xD But it will match with Asus Z390 boards?
I don’t get a browse button when I follow your instructions. I’m using Intel (R) Flash Image Tool. Version: 12.0.37.1429. Can you provide a screenshot of what I should get?
**** UPDATE *****
I had to do some subtle clicking on the field in order to get the browse button.
Everything went smoothly. Thanks for your help.
It simple as that:
It’s still from an Intel bios update package- but the version number is not in the database. Tried to unpack it, but MEA crashed.
33.zip (2.45 MB)
It does exist in the DB, as can be seen at MEA.dat file. MEA does not support Intel Engine Capsule images and thus the reported message is not accurate in such case.
I don’t understand the current IME firmware. It seems to be separated into different pieces now that work together? Before it was easy to update just find out if it’s a LP or SH and Corporate or Consumer, now I can’t even determine my version anymore. Here’s what I have

I tried running the MeInfoWin64 but now it doesn’t even work right, it complains
"Error 63: Unknown or unsupported hardware platform. HW: Intel(R) Sunrise Point Chipset. Supported HW: Cannonlake Platform."
What the heck is it talking about? This is an i5-8250U which is current gen, I have no clue what it’s refusing to recognize this for
I can’t do anything now to upgrade this firmware, I can’t identify the version, figure out even what to do next. Any step by step guide is great because this makes no sense to me
You’re using CSME v12 tools on a CSME v11 platform. Nothing has changed for CSME v11 firmware.
