Annotated Snippet
What: /sys/class/mei/
Date: May 2014
KernelVersion: 3.17
Contact: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@intel.com>
Description:
The mei/ class sub-directory belongs to mei device class
What: /sys/class/mei/mei<N>/
Date: May 2014
KernelVersion: 3.17
Contact: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@intel.com>
Description:
The /sys/class/mei/meiN directory is created for
each probed mei device
What: /sys/class/mei/mei<N>/fw_status
Date: Nov 2014
KernelVersion: 3.19
Contact: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@intel.com>
Description: Display fw status registers content
The ME FW writes its status information into fw status
registers for BIOS and OS to monitor fw health.
The register contains running state, power management
state, error codes, and others. The way the registers
are decoded depends on PCH or SoC generation.
Also number of registers varies between 1 and 6
depending on generation.

Contact: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@intel.com>
Description: Display the negotiated HBM protocol version.
The HBM protocol version negotiated
between the driver and the device.

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
