Core boot new motherboards

[Confused]

@renehoj

How do you access ME remotely, I know it works with AMT, but how does it work with ME?

I wish I knew.

@renehoj

I thought they were referring to something more concrete, maybe some actually evidence of some sort.

@brendanhoar

From what I’ve read, Disabling AMT through BIOS simply passes a request to the on-CPU ME coprocessor to disable the functions.

That state flag is then stored on-CPU in a small non-volatile (flash/sram?) area for settings and other power-cycle maintained values/state.

There is no published external command or other signal to tell the ME to enable the functions again and Intel claims they have not implemented such a command.

@renehoj

…I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work. From what I know, the only way to restore ATM is to replace the CPU/motherboard.

@renehoj

Buying a 12th gen CPU that isn’t vPro doesn’t mean it doesn’t have ME or AMT, they all have ME, vPro only means it’s AMT Enterprise eligible

OK I’m definitely confused. “AMT Enterprise eligible”?

Not trying to be a d!ck, really want to understand. Please educate me if/when you have time. Thanks @renehoj!
