System Tools v16 supports the following major architectures:

A tool utilized to create and sign independent binary structures, such as independent update packages or custom keys. Common Use Cases

fpt.exe (or fptw64.exe on Windows environments) is a low-level flashing utility. Unlike consumer-facing BIOS update programs, FPT bypasses standard firmware abstractions to communicate directly with the SPI controller. It is used to read, erase, or write specific regions of the physical SPI flash memory chip. It is indispensable for dumping raw firmware for diagnostic analysis or writing finalized binaries during manufacturing. CSME Information Tool (MEInfo) FWUpdLcl64 -F new_csme

Once the new ME region is merged with the other regions (PMC, PCHC, PHY) via MFIT, the resulting binary can be flashed using either:

The primary GUI tool for creating, modifying, and decomposing binary BIOS/SPI images. In v16, it is often used for "ME cleaning"—the process of clearing initialized data from a BIOS dump so it can be flashed to a different motherboard.

Helps identify if the CSME is initialized properly or if it has encountered an error state. 4. MEManufacturingTool (MEMT) Can’t copy the link right now

Intel is a collection of utilities designed for developers and system administrators to manage, configure, and update the firmware on modern Intel platforms, specifically those featuring 12th Generation (Alder Lake) and 13th Generation (Raptor Lake) processors. Core Tools in the Kit

If successful, output: ME State : Disabled (AltDisabledMode) .

The are a double‑edged sword. On one hand, they provide the only means to inspect, update, and repair the deeply embedded security engine that controls power, security, and remote management on hundreds of millions of Intel‑based computers. On the other hand, their power is matched by their risk: a single mistake in MFIT or a mismatch in firmware versions can render a motherboard unresponsive.
