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