# ME Cleaner
|
||||||
|
It's possible to 'clean' the ME partition within the flash medium as part
|
||||||
|
of the build process. While cleaning as much code as possible is removed
|
||||||
|
from the ME firmware partition. In this state the ME errors out and doesn't
|
||||||
|
operate any more.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Using a 'cleaned' ME partition may lead to issues and its use should be
|
||||||
|
carefully evaulated.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Observations with 'cleaned' ME
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Instable LPC bus
|
||||||
|
* SuperIO is malfunctioning
|
||||||
|
* TPM is malfunctioning
|
||||||
|
* Random system shutdowns on high bus activity
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Filing bug reports
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Always test with unmodified IFD and ME section before reporting bugs to the
|
||||||
|
coreboot project.
