This is one of the many reasons Purism started as an organization: to solve really hard problems by manufacturing hardware that can fully respect users freedoms in the future.
There is no other way to do it consistently over time. The reason the Intel ME is so impenetrable is that you have to combine hardware selection, hardware configuration, hardware fuses, and firmware, which requires to push into the manufacturing and fabrication process.
Why Purism has the uncommon ability to run a freed ME Users would then be able to have hardware that is one step closer to respecting their freedoms at the BIOS level. It is a black box of mystery code at the lowest level, in ring -2, with complete control over every part of the system.īy working with Intel, motherboard design developers, as well as our coreboot developers, Purism has put in motion a solid approach on how to run a freed Intel ME in the future. It operates all-by-itself and separate from the main processor, the BIOS, and the Operating system (OS), but it does interact with the BIOS and OS kernel. The Intel Management Engine (ME) is a separate independent processor core that is actually embedded inside the Multichip Package (MCP) on Intel CPUs.
