Hello,

I am looking for the Flash Image Tool. Where can I download this application? I'm not sure if it matters or not, but I am looking for it for Alder/Coffee Lake.

Thank you

I'm unable to find the FPT tool as well. Can I get pointed in the right direction for that as well?

The Flash Image Tool (FIT) you’re referring to is Intel’s Flash Image Tool, which is part of the Intel CSME (ME) System Tools package. It’s not publicly distributed as a standalone download. For Coffee Lake (CML/CFL) you’ll need the matching CSME System Tools v12, and for Alder Lake you’ll need CSME System Tools v16. These are typically available through Intel NDA portals, OEMs, or motherboard vendors, and are often found by searching for “Intel CSME System Tools v12/v16 FIT”. Make sure the tool version matches your platform, as using the wrong one can corrupt the firmware.
