Hello everyone,

Since all of you have a Z170 board, no matter if you have the latest ME firmware or not, can you run MEInfo -verbose and show the results here? For me the ideal is someone who has a MEInfo -verbose (or MEManuf) before and one after updating to 11.0.12.1008. But even older MEInfo -verbose reports will do. I'm interested to see the "FW Status Register" reports at the beginning.

Here you have the info before the update to 11.0.12.1008.
I hope I can add your requested info after the update to 11.0.12.1008 later today.

Yes I saw that before writing the request. It's even more important to see some reports from people at 11.0.12.1008. Regarding your updating to the current 11.0.12.1008 CON-H firmware we have: Unless you can restore from a bad flash via a 2nd chip with unlocked FD or a programmer, I suggest to not try updating via FWUpdate. I will explain at the ME thread but there seem to be two firmware variants, PDM and non-PDM. Cross flashing seems to be ok for some people but for others can lead to errors before flashing (invalid image) or even bricks if it hags during the update. Based on the reports from 11.0.12.1008 CON-H we currently have, it's very much possible that we have found the PDM variant.

Thank you very much for the report @Orsox

Yes, I think I'm right. A value of 200 means non-PDM whereas a value of 020 means PDM. I think the 11.0.12.1008 CON-H we have is PDM and not NOPDM like the earlier stuff we were flashing. I have just updated the ME thread with a 2nd 100-series warning. Can you proof read it and let me know if you don't understand something? I need everyone to understand why paying attention to PDM is important.

I hope I am not hijacking this thread; would it be possible to enable Intel's PTT in the modded BIOS/ME firmware for this board (or other Asus Z170)?
Currently it says Present/Disabled as per MEInfo - and have been trying to enable it with no avail.

Perhaps other people that may want to use BitLocker may find it useful if PTT were enabled by default? I certainly would.

(I guess I could source the discrete TPM2.0 mini-board but since PTT is in the firmware it's strange that ASUS does not enable it like Gigabyte does)

Many thanks!

First of all welcome at the Forum!

Could you please tell me which Gigabyte Board you are talking about and which asus board you have, so I can compare the Settings in the ME Firmware?

I haven't tested if you can Change the PTT Settings without bricking something. I think if your ME descriptors are unlocked or you have a SPI Programmer we could give it a try and revert everything if something goes wrong.
But if your descriptors are locked I don't think that we can Change the Settings and make it work.

Default Settings in Ranger VIII:

1
2
3
4
 
Intel PTT initial power-up state: Disabled
Intel PTT Supported: Yes
Intel PTT Supported [FPF] :Yes
Intel PTT RTC Clear Detection: Enabled

Thank you for the friendly reply ;)

I have not got a Gigabyte Z170 board but on the ASUS forums talking about TPM support, people say that Gigabyte allow enable/disable PTT in the BIOS (in addition to dedicated TPM socket). I will download the latest BIOS to attempt to extract ME firmware and check for you?

I do have an older Lenovo X1 Carbon v2 Haswell/ME9.5 and it has both dedicated TPM1.2 and ME TPM2.0 you can switch in the BIOS. I read that PTT is included since ME9.5 thus anything running it or higher should technically be able to have PTT and thus a TPM2.0 for BitLocker.

Would you be able to just extract current ME firmware and just switch PTT in PITC, save modified ME and flash back? Thus not update to a newer ME/copy settings - just change that one setting?

There seems various places for PTT, Strap 10 seems disabled but other enabled. I have not managed to flashed modified ME with PTT enabled everywhere and thus MEInfo to show Enabled.

I know some people are not happy with TPM, but having ran SSD SEDs with hardware-BitLocker in laptops with no problems I'd rather have the same on my desktops?

Thanks!

I just checked the ME Firmware in the Latest Bios for the Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming G1 and it has the same Settings I mentioned in my prevoius post.
The Gigabyte BIOS has an Option to enable or disable " Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT)"
I havent found that Option in the Asus Ranger VIII Bios.

Fri Jul 01, 2016 2:36 pm

Orsox - sorry I did not explain correctly ;)

The Gigabyte BIOS has that option and I guess it enables the PTT if that option is set but PTT is not enabled automatically at boot; my idea is to change the strap in ASUS for PTT to be automatically enabled at boot thus requiring no command from BIOS to enable:

Intel PTT initial power-up state: Disabled

We need to change the strap/setting in ASUS to be Enabled on boot thus no need for setting/command to enable as it would come up enabled (hopefully):

Intel PTT initial power-up state: Enabled ;)

Does that make sense?

@ cam234:

Yes it can be done, do you have an unlocked Flash Descriptor or a programmer because you will need read/write access to the ME region for such a task. Run Flash Programming Tool with command fptw -d spi.bin. Do you see a cpu access error or not?

@plutomaniac

Firstly, I would like to thank you for all your work on this site and all the ME firmware/tools!

Unfortunately the descriptors are locked:

Reading HSFSTS register... Flash Descriptor: Valid

--- Flash Devices Found ---
W25Q128BV ID:0xEF4018 Size: 16384KB (131072Kb)

Error 318: The host CPU does not have read access to the target flash area. To e
nable read access for this operation you must modify the descriptor settings to
give host access to this region.
FPT Operation Failed.

I do have a programmer, will need to buy some BIOS chips first to test that it works ;) I thought this would be much easier, then again not sure if soldering a TPM socket on the Z170M-PLUS is more dangerous than ME modding+flash? Maybe just sell the board and get a Gigabyte board with PTT and be done with it?

Just to clarify - after new BIOS chip arrives (seems to be a Winbond 25Q128FV DIP8) - the process is:

1. Save chip contents with programmer
2. Modify this image with Flash Image Tool (enable PTT strap)? Or need to unpack and get ME to modify then pack?
3. Flash this modified image with programmer?

Thanks!
