Firmware Hub (FWH) interface support
FWH (FirmWare Hub)
The FWH component is part of several integrated Intel
enabling future security and manageability infrastructures for the PC platform. The device
operates under the FWH interface/protocol. The hardware features of this device include a
Random Number Generator (RNG), five General Purpose Inputs (GPIs), register-based
block locking, and hardware-based locking. An integrated combination of logic features and
non-volatile memory enables better protection for the storage/update of platform code/data,
adds platform flexibility through additional GPIs and allows for quicker introduction of new
security/manageability features into the current and future Intel
available in 8Mbit (82802AC), 4Mbit (82802AB), and 2Mbit (82802AA) densities. It uses
the 32L PLCC or 40L TSOP industry standard packages.
AMR (Audio/Modem Riser)
The CX6 has one AMR slot onboard, called the Audio/Modem Riser (AMR) slot. The
Audio/Modem Riser is an open industry-standard specification that defines a hardware
