                        ME RECOVERY INSTRUCTIONS
================================================================================
The Recovery process can be initiated by setting the recovery jumper (called ME
FRC UPDT Jumper)

The following steps demonstrate this recovery process:
   1.  Power OFF the system.
   2.  Switch the ME FRC UPDT jumper. Details regarding the jumper ID and
       location can be obtained from the Board EPS for that Platform.
   4.  Power ON the system.
   5.  Enter Setup and verify Error manager displays 83A0 error code
   6.  Boot to EfiShell and update ME if necessary
   7.  AC OFF the system, and revert the ME FRC UPDT jumper position to
       "normal operation".
   8.  Power ON the system.
   9.  Enter setup and verify Error Manager does not display 83A0 error code

Note 1 : ME will continuously monitor recovery jumper. Whenever ME FRC UPDT
         asserted ME will immediately switch to recovery mode.  AC Power cycle is must
         after de-asserting ME FRC UPDT jumper for ME to functional normally.
Note 2 : When MC FRC UPDT jumper is asserted with AC OFF, ME will restore to factory
         default settings

				ME FW Capsule INSTALLATION NOTES
================================================================================
WARNING:  It is very important to follow these instructions as they are written.
Failure to update using the proper procedure may cause damage to your system.

!!!!! AC failure during update may cause damage to your system and be unrecoverable !!!!!

!!!!! If your current BIOS revision is less than x38, then you must update ME  !!!!!
         1. Use a flash programmer and update x38 ROM image  OR
         2. Update x38 BIOS using a SuperCapsule
!!!!! Failing to follow the above procedure will switch ME into recovery mode  !!!!!    

!!!!! To upgrade to ME revision 02.01.05.062 user must update MEComplete_02_01_05_062.cap 

Please follow the below procedure to update ME using UEFI iFlash32 11.0 Build 6
   1.  Boot the system to EFI Shell
   2.  Download ME release package
   3.  Unzip the ME release package to HD or USB Flash Drive
   3.  Map the respective storage device in system with the command
           Shell> map -r
   4.  Change the Shell to mapped device file system
           Example: Shell> fs0: (or fs1:)
   5.  Run the IFlash32 utility on the prompt.
       Use ME_xx_xx_xx_xxx.cap file when ME operational Image update is required.
       Use MEComplete_xx_xx_xx_xxx.cap file when Only whole ME Image update is required.
           fs0:\> IFlash32 [File Name] /u /ni
   6.  Reboot system after the update is completed.

================================================================================
                Features Added/Removed in 02.01.05.043 release
================================================================================
The following list describes the new/changed functionality added in this SPS release 
in comparison to the former ME release:

1. In this release ME requires the final configuration of flash regions access rights 
   in the Flash Descriptor Master Access Section as described in SPS Integration Guide. 
   E.g. CPU/BIOS master must not have read or write access to ME Region and no write access 
   to the Flash Descriptor region, otherwise ME firmware will stay in recovery mode. 
2. New ME option “Flash Descriptor Access Check Enabled?was added to ME Region tab in FITc. 
   It is possible to keep write access to Flash Descriptor granted for BIOS/CPU flash master 
   if you set the new ME option to „false?. If this option is „false? BIOS is responsible for protecting 
   Flash Descriptor region using PRx registers as described in the SPS Integration Guide. FIT prints 
   appropriate warning message if this option is set to false.
3. New ME recovery firmware version SPS_02.01.05.043.0 is provided
4. Support for Jaketown reset workaround has been added to ME recovery firmware
5. ME recovery firmware responds to HECI request Get ME-BIOS Interface Version. 
   Note that features list in the response from recovery firmware is always empty.

The following list describes the new/changed functionality added in this ME release

   time when power consumption stays above NM policy power limit. The event is sent 
   again only when power consumption drops down below the NM policy limit for a while.
2. Since this release ME notion of End-of-POST status is shown in ME Firmware Status register.

CCG0100249310 : Few percent power limit oscillations were observed when limiting in memory domain.

CCG0100249636 : P-state limit lock was observed two times in longevity tests of power limiting enable (policy create) and disable (policy destroy) cycles.
CCG0100250214 : If power threshold is defined in several NM polices and the power consumption exceeds the threshold the NM Alert Threshold Exceeded message is sent only for the first policy, not for all polices.
CCG0100294018 : Additional AC cycle is required when changing Upgrade ROM device to another one of different SKU
CCG0100319242 : Shutdown action can be interrupted by cold reset when volatile policies are used 
CCG0100310016 : There is no ME FW Health Event (Event Data 2 = 5: BMC did not respond to cold reset request and ME rebooted the platform) generated after shutdown caused by policy with shutdown action.
CCG0100259921 : Unstable power limiting on platform with 4 CPU after S0->S5->G3->S0 power flow (almost 5% oscillations were observed).

CCG0100344279 : FW may hang in initialization state after the update of entire ME region is interrupted by AC loss. None of the available ME resets
(AC cycle or Global Reset or Power Button Override) can get ME out of the error condition, only reflashing ME image. 

CCG0100344304 : FW may become unresponsive after switching from Recovery to Operational (e.g. during Direct Update). Global Reset or Power Button Override can’t get ME out of the error condition.

CCG0100164685:On simulated memory throttling PECI register it was observed that Memory Throttling Statistics sensor
