How do I update the ME firmware in a DOS environment?
Another FWUpdLcl.exe version is included for ME firmware within a local DOS environment.
For more information, view readme.txt located in the ME Flash\Local-DOS folder. The ME
can be updated by executing the following command "FWUpdLcl.exe <XXX_bbbb.bin>" from
the directory containing the utility and update image file. The ME Flash folder contains a
binary update image for the ME. The binary image file is named XXX_bbbb.bin where "XXX"
is the abbreviated ME firmware version and "bbbb" is the build version number. The update
binary image and the Local-DOS folder contents can be copied to any DOS media such as a
USB flash media device, including HP Drive Key and M-Systems DiskOnKey®. The update
process output is similar to the Windows-based version.
