6100 Firmware 03.00.00.03t-uc-126

[luckman212]

Updated my 6100 to 25.07 RC today, and just clicking around I noticed a new Firmware seems to have been installed: 03.00.00.03t-uc-126

Is this expected? I note the "latest" version appears to be an older build (uc-18):

Also, on my Dashboard, it shows BIOS CORDOBA-03.00.00.03t - with a date of 2023-03-17 - do these BIOS and Firmware versions align?

Hmm, nope. 18 is the latest microcontroller code version.

Try a full power cycle if you haven't already.

[luckman212]

Thanks Steve, the full power cycle / cold boot got things sorted:

[stephenw10]

Nice. Weird though.

[luckman212]

@stephenw10 Updated to 25.11.a.20250916.0600 yesterday and noticed this came up again (little different this time, now it says 03.00.00.03t-uc-254)

Cold boot fixed it again. Strange.

[stephenw10]

Hmm, if you see it again check the version reported in the sysctl:

[25.07.1-RELEASE][admin@6100.stevew.lan]/root: sysctl dev.cordbuc.0.version
dev.cordbuc.0.version: 18

[luckman212]

@stephenw10 Yeah, damn, I had that in my notes from the last time, but I forgot. I'll try to remember next time!

[stephenw10]

It pretty much has to be reporting incorrectly there since that's what the gui uses but it would be good to confirm.
