@stephenw10 do you have a copy of WGXepc64 that will work with 2.7?
-
The current version works:
[2.7.0-DEVELOPMENT][root@xtm5.stevew.lan]/root: ./WGXepc64 Found Firebox XTM5 WGXepc Version 1.6_1 22/11/2020 stephenw10 WGXepc can accept two arguments: -f (CPU fan) will return the current and minimum fan speed or if followed by a number in hex, 00-FF, will set it. -f2 (System fan) will return the current and minimum fan speed or if followed by a number in hex, 00-FF, will set it. -l (led) will set the arm/disarm led state to the second argument: red, green, red_flash, green_flash, red_flash_fast, green_flash_fast, off -b (backlight) will set the lcd backlight to the second argument: on or off. Do not use with LCD driver. -t (temperature) shows the current CPU temperature reported by the SuperIO chip. X-e box only. Not all functions are supported by all modelsYou might also be interested in the attached script that I've had for a while but never got around to adding into WGXepc.
I'm seeing some odd instability in this box in 2.7a though. It is pretty old at this point I guess.

I actually lost my hard drive in my XTM5 that I was using at a remote site when I brought it back here and tried to load 2.7 on it.. Put a new drive in it and all is good.
When I try to execute commands for WGXepc64 I get "sh: /conf/WGXepc64: Permission denied"
Is there a different way these days to allow permissions?
-
How are you setting them? I usually:
chmod 0755 WGXepc64 -

Mmm, that should work. I have in /root but should be fine in /conf.
Unless.... something in ZFS. Are you running ZFS?
Edit: Yup. Hmm

I shall try that.

Yes that worked. Thanks @stephenw10! I am going to edit my post with the instructions a bit.

Wowsers, this is some forum! :)
Hi, just picked up an XTM 5 510 (7580 v0.3) am trying to flash the BIOS I have read this entire thread and seen I am not alone with the following:
flashrom v1.2 on FreeBSD 13.0-STABLE (amd64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 4, resolution: 1ns). Found chipset "Intel ICH7/ICH7R". Enabling flash write... OK. No EEPROM/flash device found. Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically.Sadly I don't see any resolutions, did anyone come up with anything?
Not really sure what detail is best to provide here, maybe this?

Hmm, never seen it fail here. Never tried using 1.3 either though:
[2.7.0-DEVELOPMENT][root@xtm5.stevew.lan]/root: flashrom --programmer internal flashrom v1.2 on FreeBSD 12.3-STABLE (amd64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 4, resolution: 1ns). Found chipset "Intel ICH7/ICH7R". Enabling flash write... OK. Found Micron/Numonyx/ST flash chip "M25P80" (1024 kB, SPI) mapped at physical address 0x00000000fff00000. No operations were specified.Did you try 1.2 first? Can you see what the actual flash chip you have is?

Hi! Thanks so much for getting back to me, amazed you have not had enough of this thread!
[2.6.0-RELEASE][root@pfSense.home.arpa]/tmp: flashrom -r rom.orig -p internal flashrom v1.2 on FreeBSD 12.3-STABLE (amd64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 4, resolution: 1ns). Found chipset "Intel ICH7/ICH7R". Enabling flash write... OK. No EEPROM/flash device found. Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically.Still the same result.
As far as I can make out the BIOS chip reads "25P80V6 GHAAA V5 CHN 636B"
The G's could be 6's likewise the B may well be an R, my aging eyes are struggling
-
Also not promising?
Probing for Micron/Numonyx/ST M25P80, 1024 kB: RDID byte 0 parity violation. probe_spi_rdid_generic: id1 0xff, id2 0xffff -
Yeah it's
25P80VGwhich is the same as I have. What you're seeing look exactly like this:
https://forum.netgate.com/post/461855That user was eventually able to read/write the bios using afudos in FreeDOS but to do so he had to add a port on the com2 header. Read forward from that post for the details.
Now more than 8 years ago!Steve
-
@stephenw10 hehe, permanently adding a serial port to the back of the box wasn't hard either, though most people will probably be content to just hook it up temporarily for setup. But it's nice having it there in case it's needed.
-
Thanks folks, I don't have time or patience for that so I think I will stop here, maybe one day I will get around to it :)
-
Yup, quite an involved process. And you don't actually need to flash it anyway, it will run pfSense just fine with the default BIOS.

Hello guys
I’ve installed pfSense on XTM5 it is working fine but it is seriously LOUD and very much disturbing everyone.Is there anyway to lower the noise of the fan this unit or make it completely silent.
PS. I’m from a hot country so average room temperature is around 37 - 39 degree but I don’t see anything in my rack that loud.
-
Are you running WGXepc?
You can set the system fan speed with that. However 39°C is hot for an IT room. The fans will always be quite loud the keep the CPU running relatively cool. What's the reported CPU core temp?
Steve
