Hi Shouheng,

Thanks for your patience.

The first time you use this feature, set SGX to Enabled. Even if you plan to use Software Controlled, set SGX to Enabled until you complete the necessary steps in the OS for the Intel drivers. Set SGX to Software Controlled after you have configured your Intel drivers in the OS.

1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > System Options > Processor Options > Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) and press Enter.

2. Select a setting and press Enter.

Enabled
Disabled

3. Software Controlled - Enabling or disabling of SGX is determined by the Intel drivers, which can be configured in the OS.

4. If you select Enabled or Software Controlled, more configuration options are displayed:

Select Owner EPOCH input type
PRMRR Size

5. Press F10.

To start building your application so that it can use Intel SGX, you need to first choose an SDK. Refer to the Get Started for the SGX SDK.

Aznie
