Host Write Access to ME/EC setting

[nilesh]

Hi;

Our product is using the "Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300U CPU @ 2.40GHz" process and our Bios vendor is American Megatrend.

Our Access setting to Management engine and Embedded controller are as below, as per Intel MEInfo tool output.

Host Write Access to ME                     Disabled
Host Read Access to EC                       Disabled
Host Write Access to EC                      Disabled

With above setting, is it possible to update the Management engine and Embedded controller firmware.  If yes please inform about what process/tool need to use to update firmware.

Or above Acsess setting will not allow to update EC/ME firmware?

Thanks and Regards,

Nilesh
