ME Disable for Debug/
Flash Burning Purposes
This section is purely for debug purposes. Intel
®
ME FW is the only supported
configuration for Broadwell PCH-LP based system.
10.1
Intel
®
ME Disable
Here are the ways one can disable the Intel
®
ME for purposes of in system
programming the flash.
1. Temporarily disable the Intel
®
ME through the Intel
®
MEBX. Power off or cold
reset.
2. HDA_SDO (Manufacturing mode jumper or Flash descriptor override jumper)
asserted HIGH on the rising edge of PWROK. Power off or cold reset. Note: this is
only valid as long as you do not specifically set the variable Flash Descriptor
Override Pin-Strap Ignore in the Flash Image Tool to false.
3. Use -disableME command line option through FPT tool.
HECI ME region unlock - There is a HECI command that allows Intel
®
ME FW to boot up
in a temporarily disabled state and allows for a host program to overwrite the ME
region.
Note:
Removing the DIMM from channel 0 no longer has any effect on Intel
®
ME functionality.
10.1.1
Erasing/Programming Intel
®
ME Region
If CPU/Host has access to ME region, then one could either erase/program the ME
region to all FFh. If there is no access, then one must assert HDA_SDO (Flash
descriptor override strap) HIGH during the rising edge of PWROK. If there are Protected
Range registers set, then you will not be able to program this w/o a BIOS option to turn
off this protected range. (See
6.3 SPI Protected Range Register Recommendations
) for
more detail.
This depends on the board booting HW defaults for clock configuration. If any clock
configuration is required for booting the platform that is not in the HW defaults, then
this option may not work for you.
FPT will automatically disable Intel ME when erasing any address in ME region.
