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.

---help---
|
|
This option allows you to select a number of drivers that are
|
|
not of the "normal" Linux kernel quality level. These drivers
|
|
are placed here in order to get a wider audience for use of
|
|
them. Please note that these drivers are under heavy
|
|
development, may or may not work, and may contain userspace
|
|
interfaces that most likely will be changed in the near
|
|
future.
|
|
|
|
Using any of these drivers will taint your kernel which might
|
|
affect support options from both the community, and various
|
|
commercial support orginizations.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to work on these drivers, to help improve them, or
|
|
to report problems you have with them, please see the
|
|
driver_name.README file in the drivers/staging/ directory to
|
|
see what needs to be worked on, and who to contact.
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, say N here.

---help---
|
|
Are you sure you really want to build the staging drivers?
|
|
They taint your kernel, don't live up to the normal Linux
|
|
kernel quality standards, are a bit crufty around the edges,
|
|
and might go off and kick your dog when you aren't paying
|
|
attention.
|
|
|
|
Say N here to be able to select and build the Staging drivers.
|
|
This option is primarily here to prevent them from being built
|
|
when selecting 'make allyesconfg' and 'make allmodconfig' so
|
|
don't be all that put off, your dog will be just fine.
