Description

Hey!
I've originally wanted to install Coreboot + Tianocore, with me_cleaner on my Thinkpad X220. However, I couldn't get Coreboot + Tianocore to work, so I just ran me_cleaner on the original Lenovo Firmware. It seems to work fine. I've ran your tool and got as output the attached below. I'd really appreciate it if you could explain to me if the ME is now deactivated or not because I couldn't find any info on what 'Operation Mode: Debug' and so on, mean. Thanks, Johannes.

Bad news, you have a `QM67 Express Chipset LPC Controller` so you have ME hardware on board and it is very difficult to remove, continuing...
