local Windows environment. For more information and utility options, view the readme.txt file located in

dLcl.exe <XXX_bbbb.bin> -generic. The ME Flash folder contains a binary update image for
the ME. The binary image file is named XXX_bbbb.bin where XXX is the abbreviated ME firmware version
and bbbb is the build version number. For example, 210_1028.bin is the ME update file version 2.1.0
with the build number of 1028. The update binary image and the Local-Win folder contents can be cop-
