Subject: [refpolicy] [PATCH] Platform Management
Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2012 12:14:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1345112075-12019-1-git-send-email-dominick.grift@gmail.com> (raw)
I have this AMT functionality on my workstation and i noticed this
/dev/mei interface without a valid device node type.
So i decided to look into this a bit.
With regard to Intel AMT, i ended up at:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-intel-amt-open-source-drivers/
I understand that there is a daemon and a suite of applications that
operate on this interface to allow for enterprise platform management
functionality.
Seems though that these programs currently have some licensing issues.
There seem to also be similar technologies by other vendors.
Declare a device node for platform management interfaces and label Intel
Management Engine Interface character device nodes with type
mgmt_device_t.
