Update for Intel AMT SDK 3.0

By Ajith Illendula (Intel) (9 posts) on September 13, 2007 at 8:11 am

Hello All,

My name is Ajith Illendula and this is my first blog post. I am one of the manageability engineer working for Intel. My role is to support the developer community writing the manageability applications for Intel AMT systems.

If you are currently using Intel AMT SDK 3.0 to develop applications for Intel CentrinoPro Processor Technology or Intel vPro Processor Technology, there is an update available for the SDK which can be downloaded here. You can find more detailed information about the SDK here.

Who needs this update? If you are seeing poor performance during SOL boot, seems like the system is unresponsive during SOL session, then you want this update.

This updated SDK release contains fixes to the following issue:

-Title: Performing SOL boot can seem to hang the Intel® AMT machine
-Symptoms: Performing SOL boot can cause the Intel® AMT machine's boot flow to work so slowly that it might seem that the Intel® AMT machine is not responsive. This behavior does not happen on all Intel® AMT machines, but is BIOS dependant.
-Cause: When opening an SOL session, the Redirection Library does not set all serial control bits needed by some BIOSs.
-Resolution: Use the Redirection Library included in this SDK release instead of previous versions.

All of the documentation errors as indicated by the errata document posted earlier are corrected in this release. For more detailed information about open issues, please refer to the readme file in the SDK distribution.

How do you install this SDK? Simply copy the complete SDK directory structure to a folder of your choice. Alternatively you can chose to copy single components directory. A word of caution for this approach - SDK is designed to be copied as a single unit, many samples rely on common include files and code that is part of the SDK and not replicated in each sample separately.

 Paul,
Right now we are running a contest to gather the feedback on the SDK. All the entries will be passed on to the SDK development team. Please submit your feedback in the "Voice of the Community" (http://www.intel.com/software/voices/). Looking forward to hear your SDK feedback. Thanks.
