Netgate Firmware Version Unknown

DefenderLLC

I have noticed this on the last few 24.03 development buiids. The firmware update tool is showing the following on my 6100 MAX. Everything is working fine. Just something I have been noticing...

juanzelli

@DefenderLLC Confirmed the same on my 4100 running 24.03.a.20240201.1609

stephenw10

Hmm, I can't replicate that.

That value is made of of two things:

[24.03-DEVELOPMENT][root@6100-3.stevew.lan]/root: kenv smbios.bios.version
CORDOBA-03.00.00.03t

and

[24.03-DEVELOPMENT][root@6100-3.stevew.lan]/root: sysctl dev.cordbuc.0.version
dev.cordbuc.0.version: 18

Do those values look correct?

Negative

[24.03-DEVELOPMENT][root@xxxx]/root: kenv smbios.bios.version
CORDOBA-03.00.00.01-2Ct
[24.03-DEVELOPMENT][root@xxxx]/root: sysctl dev.cordbuc.0.version
sysctl: unknown oid 'dev.cordbuc.0.version'

Seems nothing "cordbuc" exists

[24.03-DEVELOPMENT][root@xxxx]/root: sysctl -a | grep cordbuc
[24.03-DEVELOPMENT][root@xxxx]/root:

stephenw10

Ah, do you see the module loaded?:

[24.03-DEVELOPMENT][root@6100-3.stevew.lan]/root: kldstat | grep cordbuc
 7    1 0xffffffff8442a000     22a0 cordbuc.ko

Yes

[24.03-DEVELOPMENT][root@xxxx]/root: kldstat | grep cordbuc
7 1 0xffffffff8442a000 22a0 cordbuc.ko

DefenderLLC

@stephenw10 said in Netgate Firmware Version Unknown:

sysctl dev.cordbuc.0.version

Same. And this is on today's build:

stephenw10

Hmm, that's odd. I assume you cannot see the cordbuc device then?

[24.03-DEVELOPMENT][root@6100-3.stevew.lan]/root: dmesg | grep cordbuc
cordbuc0: <Netgate Cordoba IO controller> at port 0x800 on isa0
gpio0: <Cordoba uC GPIO controller> on cordbuc0

@stephenw10 said in Netgate Firmware Version Unknown:

Correct. No result from your command.

[24.03-DEVELOPMENT][root@xxxx]/root: dmesg | grep cordbuc
[24.03-DEVELOPMENT][root@xxxx]/root:

juanzelli

@juanzelli However...

[24.03-DEVELOPMENT][root@xxxx]/root: dmesg | grep Cordoba
Netgate Cordoba GPIO Driver 0.4 loaded

DefenderLLC

@stephenw10 said in Netgate Firmware Version Unknown:

dmesg | grep cordbuc

stephenw10

@DefenderLLC And you also have the corbuc module loaded in kldstat?

DefenderLLC

@stephenw10 Looks like it's loaded:

DefenderLLC

FYI, this is still an issue through today's 24.03 snapshot:

stephenw10

Hmm, still not seeing that here. Let me see if I can reproduce it on anything....

DefenderLLC

@stephenw10 Perhaps I should try removing the Netgate Firmware Update package and then reinstall it... I'll give that a try.

Update: that did not work. same result.

stephenw10

Mmm, I wouldn't expect that to do anything the cordbuc device should always be present.

I assume the LEDs don't work? You see a bunch or GPIO/LED errors in the boot log?

DefenderLLC

@stephenw10 I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Something changed after one of these recent 24.03 snapshot builds in the last few weeks when I first reported it. That other person on this thread noticed the same thing. I believe he/she also has a 6100.

We suspect a change there may not have made it into your install somehow.
