From AUR (recommended)

yay -S rpc-go-bin

paru -S rpc-go-bin

Manual

git clone https://github.com/88plug/rpc-go-bin
cd rpc-go-bin
makepkg -si

Verify

which rpc
# /usr/bin/rpc

sudo rpc amtinfo

Expected output if your hardware has AMT and the MEI driver is loaded:

Version            : 16.1.27

Control Mode       : pre-provisioning state  (or "activated in client control mode")
Operational State  : enabled
...

Prerequisites

  • Root for any command that touches /dev/mei0
  • Network reachability to the AMT IP for remote operations (port 16992 or 16993)
