Intel (CS) Management Engine: Drivers, Firmware and Tools for (CS)ME 16+

@pipes80

I tried to point out in my previous post that this is not CPU, but motherboard dependent. What motherboard do you have exactly? By the way, both the 600 and 700 series are ME16, which is another topic.

I have a z790 apex, I think the last version is 16.1.25.2020

Okā€¦ seems that you just wanted to brief us that the ME 16 topic is not to update and you already knew your system info and ME version of the Asus product support page, as same as the station-drivers fw repository (09-2022). So seems that to our knowledge you may indeed have the latest version know.
Cheers

Hi,

Where do we find older versions of CSME system tools??

Thank you

Hello! Where could I find an OEM download of the ME System Tools?

@davidm71
As far as i know there is no Archive from such tools, at least public, maybe some user had been storing them.

@ratvm
The linked tools are of generic use and gathered from several sources, most of them from OEMs, so explain yourself better on what is your need regarding ā€œOEMā€ tools.
OEMs can occasionally publish some update packages on their product page support and the tools may be present or not in the package.

EDIT: @davidm71 Glad you found it, as i said i dont recall one, only the current repository on Mega linked by plutomanic.
Waitā€¦were you looking for the current 2-15 thread???..ā€œOLDER?ā€ rigthā€¦no comments.

@MeatWar Yes there is. Found it ten minutes later.

I was wondering if someone could point me to one of those vendor update packages with the ME v16 tools because Iā€™d have to give it root and have some trust issues :slightly_smiling_face:

Those packages are related to your system (Bios updates/ME FW updates)
soā€¦ we cant point you nothing as we are not ā€œFortune tellersā€ to know your hardware/motherboard.

EDIT: Well if the MSI product support page of your motherboard doesnt have a ME FW update, then you may verify it with the guide on this thread if thereā€™s an update for your system, thatā€™s it.
Of course it needs users to do a full read of the guide to understand it.

Some OEMs do not offer a separate package as they just merged it in a bios update package.

Good luck.

Sorry, I didnā€™t know they were model-specific. I donā€™t think MSI publishes them for the Z690-A, but Iā€™d appreciate if you could please let me know if Iā€™m wrong.

Edit: it looks like the CSME version is 16.0.15.1620.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but did this leak include the 16.0.15.1620 tools? I canā€™t find them after downloading.

Hereā€™s the link where they have all the tools: Intel (Converged Security) Management Engine: Drivers, Firmware and Tools (2-15). I donā€™t see that version.

Edit: Yes older. Sighā€¦

I thought you knew the original thread, the one you just linked now, so i assumed you were looking for archived ME FW/Tools revisions of Plutomaniac repo on Mega that is shared there.

Seems that ME FW 16 has a few settings different from past onesā€¦ i didnt know that Plutomaniac had removed links to the 16 FW and tools new apart repo on Mega, just noticed today.

Looking for the same

Anyone have the v16.x system tools?

New 16.1 MEI firmware upgrade: [FIRMWARE] Intel ME (H610/B660/H670/Z690/B760/H770/Z790) | Windows 11 Forum

Did the tools for 16.X get taken down? Iā€™m on a Dell XPS 15 9520 and I see that others were able to get the tools needed to work with 16.0 and/or 16.1 but I canā€™t seem to find them myself.

If you are like me, wondering where the MEI notification area icon went in Windows 11, it turns out it is now enabled via a Windows store app. I did not know that so was looking for driver/firmware updates for my CSME 16. No need. Here is the app: CSME Windows Store app published by Intel

Some people are asking for the tools for newer architectures, while I donā€™t have 16.1, I have a release of the ones for Alder Lake (I think it supports some Raptor too), so I have made an archive and uploaded them here:

The password for the archive is ā€œWin-Raidā€.
