| Hans-G?nter@24668 | 1 The Intel Processor Microcode Update (MCU) Package provides a mechanism |
| Hans-G?nter@24668 | 2 to release updates for security advisories and functional issues, |
| Hans-G?nter@24668 | 3 including errata. |
| Hans-G?nter@24668 | 4 In addition, MCUs are responsible for starting the SGX enclave (on |
| Hans-G?nter@24668 | 5 processors that support the SGX feature), implementing complex behaviors |
| Hans-G?nter@24668 | 6 (such as assists), and more. |
| Hans-G?nter@24668 | 7 The preferred method to apply MCUs is using the system BIOS. |
| Hans-G?nter@24668 | 8 For a subset of Intel's processors, the MCU can also be updated at |
| Hans-G?nter@24668 | 9 runtime using the operating system. |
| Hans-G?nter@24668 | 10 The Intel Microcode Package shared here contains updates for those |
| Hans-G?nter@24668 | 11 processors that support OS loading of MCUs. |
