The Intel Management Engine Interface (aka HECI: Host Embedded Controller Interface ) enables communication between the host OS and the Management Engine firmware. MEI is bi-directional, and either the host or Intel AMT firmware can initiate transactions. The core hardware architecture of Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) is resident in firmware. The micro-controller within the chipset's graphics and memory controller (GMCH) hub houses the Management Engine (ME) firmware, which implements various services on behalf of management applications. Some of the ME subsystems that can be access via MEI driver: - Intel(R) Quiet System Technology (QST) is implemented as a firmware subsystem that runs in the ME. Programs that wish to expose the health monitoring and fan speed control capabilities of Intel(R) QST will need to use the MEI driver to communicate with the ME sub-system. - ASF is the "Alert Standard Format" which is an DMTF manageability standard. It is implemented in the PC's hardware and firmware, and is managed from a remote console. Most recent Intel desktop chipsets have one or more of the above ME services. The MEI driver will make it possible to support the above features on Linux and provides applications access to the ME and it's features.
