I’m hoping @soller@lemmy.world or @mmstick@lemmy.world chimes in. I have a couple System76 machines and I checked them both within Coreboot to verify the IME is disabled, and they both say that it is. My question is, I’ve been watching this post https://blog.system76.com/post/major-updates-for-system76-open-firmware-june-2023 where it says there were issues in the past with disabling the IME and that updates should be coming with Coreboot to ‘re-disable’ it. My question is, I’m now not sure if my IME’s are disabled or not since my firmware versions date back to 2022 or so which is apparently the latest for both (based on this: https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/blob/master/FEATURES.md). But, can I trust what Coreboot is saying that IME is actually disabled since there’s apparently a bug preventing the disablement?
If that’s an indicator, I have no …/mei directory, so apparently IME is still active regardless of what Coreboot is telling me?
