ime_remover

• Remove intel ime/csme from as many platforms as possible

Dependencies:

• dd

Usage:

• git clone https://github.com/linus378/me_replacer.git
• chmod +x me_replacer
• ./me_replacer

Current functionality:

• Breaks overclocking in bios on some boards =)
• Yes
• None

Goals:

• Make the tool slower for more relaxation
• Make the tool bigger = better
• Learn how to code instead of using AI.
• Make the tool cross platform
• Making serious goals and dejokeifying this project
• Move from shithub to somewhere else. Maybe selfhost even
• Make the tool complete so you can do something like "ime_remover bios.bin
• Add optinos to specify source and output and specify options for coreboots ifdtool

Compatibility:

There are no guarantees you can remove the intel me on your board past core2 era. But some stuff does miracously work. Esspecially the high end stuff. Z/X/Q chipsets for example. But there seems to be outliers across the board. Really it seems there are exeptions to the rule.

• Sucess: I could verify the system boots with AltMeDisable bit set and ime partition overwriten with zeros. It also stays on past 30 minutes. Note: This will still make the system behave weirdly sometimes. BUT it boots and dosn't crash.

• Storys: That's stuff i learned through my investigations. I talked to people and searched the interwebs.

Sucess:

• X99 MSI X99 Xpower Titanium

• Gigaybte Z87 Z87 is from a guy on discord he modded the thing to run broadwell i7 5775C i could not inquire how exactly he removed ime
• X79 corna/me_cleaner#278 whatever they did seems to be dead for some reason.
