[REQUEST+REWARD] Add AES-NI support to IBM x3500 M3 firmware

[AdamBearWA]

I made a dos bootable USB using Rufus 2.18

From dos I ran the command from amiflash\Aptio\afudos and got the following message:

Code:

46 - Error: Problem getting flash information.

I also tried amiflash\AMIBIOS\AFUDOS:

Code:

- Error: BIOS does not support AFU.

And lastly  amiflash\AptioV\afudos\AfuDos

Code:

46 - Error: Problem getting flash information.

0x13c is not 0x13r

0x13c is not 0x13r

#facepalm.. sorry I'll try again.

I'm also writing a Windows USB with CPUZ and BIOS backup to try those too

Code:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo rdmsr 0x13c

1. Download Intel ME System Tools v6 r2
2. Extract and copy files from \Intel ME System Tools v6 r2\Flash Programming Tool\DOS\ to USB stick with native DOS
3. Boot from bootable USB stick with native DOS
4. Run
fpt -bios -d old.rom
I need result file old.rom

Creating a windows bootable disc is a pain. I'm on my fourth attempt and it takes a long time to create the usb and then test if it'll boot.

Find BIOS chip on the motherboard and make a good photo of it.
