     1.4 +The Intel Processor Microcode Update (MCU) Package provides a mechanism
     1.5 +to release updates for security advisories and functional issues,
     1.6 +including errata.
     1.7 +In addition, MCUs are responsible for starting the SGX enclave (on
     1.8 +processors that support the SGX feature), implementing complex behaviors
     1.9 +(such as assists), and more.
    1.10 +The preferred method to apply MCUs is using the system BIOS.
    1.11 +For a subset of Intel's processors, the MCU can also be updated at
    1.12 +runtime using the operating system.
    1.13 +The Intel Microcode Package shared here contains updates for those
    1.14 +processors that support OS loading of MCUs.
