# ME cleaner
|
|
|
|
A cleaner for Intel ME/TXE images.
|
|
|
|
This tools removes any unnecessary partition from an Intel ME/TXE firmware, reducing
|
|
its size and its ability to interact with the system.
|
|
It should work both with coreboot and with the factory firmware.
|
|
|
|
Currently this tool:
|
|
* Scans the FPT (partition table) and checks that everything is correct
|
|
* Removes any partition entry (except for FTPR) from FPT
|
|
* Removes any partition except for the fundamental one (FTPR)
|
|
* Removes the EFFS presence flag
|
|
* Corrects the FPT checksum
|
|
* Removes any non-essential LZMA or Huffman compressed module from the FTPR partition (pre-Skylake only)
|
|
* Relocates the remaining parts of the FTPR partition to the top of the ME region (pre-Skylake only)
|
|
* Checks the validity of the RSA signature of the FTPR partition
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to power cycle your PC after flashing the modified ME/TXE image
|
|
(power off and power on, not just reboot).
