How can I check if Intel ME is disabled or not?

[FranklyFlawless]

I only had to run the script as-is for my output without needing to reboot my Librem 14.

@jam

cat /proc/cmdline

Output:

root=UUID=8dc5d099-66ac-4a10-91ba-bfe29bed3070 ro quiet splash   firmware_class.path=/firmware/

@jam

As for the 7 lines, could you clarify what exactly tells us that Intel ME is disabled or partially disabled, etc.

We can, you can check even from Linux that the ME is dysfunctional - it will not show up on PCIe. Also if you look at the Coreboot memory logs (cbmem) then you will find error messages from Coreboot while it tries to query the ME and status.

Intel ME has changed a lot since the Librem 13/15v4, enough that there has not been a blog article about it for the Librem 14 and later Purism devices. The largest priority from Purism for the last few years was bringing the Librem 5 to shipping parity.
