BIOS chip type & ME usage
Posted: Tue Nov 28, 2017 9:17 pm
Hi,
An uncommon question here. What kind of chip / package is the flash chip storing BIOS for AirTop? SOIC-8 SPI?
Also, can you tell me if AirTop uses Intel ME for thermal management or if it's done with seperate embedded controller?
My hope is to reflash with external programmer after running me_cleaner[0] (I understand this will void the warranty and is at my own risk).
