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.
