GPP_​G2 / DNX_​FORCE_​RELOAD

I

Download and Execute (DnX):Intel® CSME ROM samples this pin any time ROM begins execution. This includes the following conditions:

  • G3 Exit.
  • Sx, Moff Exit.
  • Cold Reset(Host Reset with Power Cycle) Exit.
  • Warm Reset(Host Reset without Power Cycle) Exit if Intel® CSME was shutdown in Warm Reset.
  • 0 => No DnX; 1 => Enter DnX mode.
Note: This pin must not be sampled high at the sampling time for normal operation.
