Updating ME Firmware
How do I update the ME firmware in DOS locally?
The DOS tool, FWUpdLcl.exe, is used locally by entering the tool name followed by ME firmware name.
In the following example, the command is entered fwupdlcl.exe 210_1028.bin. The tool begins
the updating process and displays “Performing Update …”. Once the process is complete, the tool dis-
plays “Update finished successfully”.
The DOS tool update will work regardless of whether the ME firmware has been provisioned. If the HP
Compaq dc7700 Business PC with vPro technology has not been provisioned, this method is best for
update ease.
How do I update the ME firmware in Windows locally?
The Windows tool (FWUpdLcl.exe) is used locally in a Command Window with the format fwup-
dlcl.exe <mefirmware.bin> -generic. The AMT configuration does not have to be provisioned
for this tool to function. In the following example, the command is entered fwupdlcl.exe
210_1028.bin -generic. The tool begins the updating process and displays “Performing Update
…”. Once the process is complete, the tool displays “Update finished successfully”.
