| Firmware: Late Boot/Payload | Undefined |
| Firmware: Platform Initialization | Undefined |
| Firmware: Memory Initialization | Undefined |
| Firmware: Early Boot (incl. RoT) | Undefined |
| Firmware: Boot ROM | None x86 CPUs don't have true "software" boot ROMs in mask ROM (such as those in many ARM SoCs).
Most x86 platforms map the firmware in SPI flash directly into address space at the reset vector, where it can be executed in-place. Prior to this, some early
initialization may be performed by the ROM microcode, or by coprocessors (such as the ME/PSP) if present. |
| Firmware Signing | For ME only ME Gen4 and newer are not vulnerable to
CVE-2017-5705 |
| CPU Microcode | Proprietary All current x86 CPUs use proprietary microcode, stored in mask ROM in the CPU itself.
Additional updates to this microcode can be temporarily loaded by firmware and/or the OS. |
| Management Coprocessor: Firmware | Proprietary, partially disabled (ME Gen4+) On ME version 12 and above (some Coffee Lake, all post-Coffee-Lake), sometimes called "IFWI ME" or "ME Generation 4" or later, module removal (as was done
with earlier MEs) is not currently known to be possible. However, the AltMeDisable ("HAP bit") can still be used on these MEs. |
