It seems to be even more restricted than that -- the "hardware" part of Bootguard only applies to the startup ACM region in the FIT table of the BIOS region of the flash. That ACM is what is responsible for implementing whatever policy for the rest of the flash. > [...] So, if that is true, then is it possible to flash the ME/AMT > region of flash with any ME code module that has been signed with the Intel > signature? I think so, although I haven't looked at enough to determine if the different chipsets or CPU models are signed with different keys. Unlike the few startup ACM images that I've looked at have the same public key for their signature, despite being on very different CPU models and from different IBV. -- Trammell -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] https://mail.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
