mei: csc: support controller with separate PCI device

2026-04-02T15:08:37+00:00

Intel PCI driver for chassis controller embedded in Intel graphics devices. An MEI device here called CSC can be embedded in discrete Intel graphics devices having separate PCI device, to support a range of chassis tasks such as graphics card firmware update and security tasks.

mei: late_bind: add late binding component driver

2025-09-18T16:32:00+00:00

Introduce a new MEI client driver to support Late Binding firmware upload/update for Intel discrete graphics platforms. Late Binding is a runtime firmware upload/update mechanism that allows payloads, such as fan control and voltage regulator, to be securely delivered and applied without requiring SPI flash updates or system reboots. This driver enables the Xe graphics driver and other user-space tools to push such firmware blobs to the authentication firmware via the MEI interface. The driver handles authentication, versioning, and communication with the authentication firmware, which in turn coordinates with the PUnit/PCODE to apply the payload. This is a foundational component for enabling dynamic, secure, and re-entrant configuration updates on platforms like Battlemage.

mei: Add MEI hardware support for IVSC device

2023-12-07T02:41:40+00:00

The protocol used for the IVSC device to communicate with HOST is MEI. The MEI hardware interfaces for the IVSC device are implemented. The APIs are exposed by MEI framework to mei clients, e.g. mei_csi and mei_ace.

mei: Add transport driver for IVSC device

2023-12-07T02:41:40+00:00

The Intel visual sensing controller (IVSC) device is designed to control the camera sharing between host IPU for media usage and IVSC for context sensing (face detection). IVSC is exposed to HOST as an SPI device and the message protocol over the SPI BUS for communicating with the IVSC device is implemented. This is the backend of mei framework for IVSC device, which usually handles the hardware data transfer. The mei_csi and mei_ace are the clients of IVSC mei framework. The firmware downloading for the IVSC device is implemented as well.

Revert "mei: virtio: virtualization frontend driver"

2020-12-06T09:36:17+00:00

This reverts commit d162219c655c8cf8003128a13840d6c1e183fb80. The device uses a VIRTIO device ID out of a not-for-production range. Releasing Linux using an ID out of this range will make it conflict with development setups. An official request to reserve an ID for an MEI device is yet to be submitted to the virtio TC, thus there's no chance it will be reserved and fixed in time before the next release. Once requested it usually takes 2-3 weeks to land in the spec, which means the device can be supported with the official ID in the next Linux version if contributors act quickly.

mei: virtio: virtualization frontend driver

2020-08-18T13:44:44+00:00

This frontend driver implements MEI hw interface based on virtio framework to let MEI driver work without changes under virtualization. It requires a backend service in the ACRN device-model on the service OS side to make it work. The backend service will emulate mei routing and assign vtags for each mei vritio device. The backend service is available in ACRN device-model at github. For more information, please refer to https://projectacrn.org The ACRN virtio sub device id for MEI is is 0x8602.
