      Bad news.
      I've tried to update to latest 2.5.0 developments snapshot and now the system won't boot and stuck in the Marvell UBOOT with bad CRC.
      What can I do to recover?

        Bad crc might just be because it tried to boot from something that doesn't exist.

        Open a ticket with us and get the restore image if it's unbootable: https://go.netgate.com/

            The kernel panic here is now resolved. However the particular card I have does not work. Needs more testing with different hardware:

              @stephenw10 Hi,
              i've got my SG2100 back after RMA procedure...
              However, i'm now afraid to do the move to 2.5.0 Beta from the GUI.
              do you have a site where i can download an iso image of aarch64 2.5.0?

              Doron.

                @doronl15 Hi Stepen,
                It happened again :(
                I upgraded from 2.4.5_1 to 2.5.0 DEVEL via the web gui and again the system stop booting in uboot stage.
                Do you happen to have an iso image so I can try to upgrade from USB stick?

                Doron

                  Let me see what I can do.

                  There is a know issue upgrading right now but if you replace the uboot envs, as I assume you did before, it will boot correctly and continue into the 2.5 upgrade. I just did exactly that on a test device here.

                  Steve

                    @stephenw10 Hi,
                    Are you sure if I fix uboot environment it will boot to 2.5?
                    Can you please send me the correct uboot environment parameter to change?

                      These are the commands I used to restore the correct uboot envs from the default values you will have now:

                      setenv boot_file efi/boot/bootaa64.efi
setenv bootcmd 'run setLED; run mmcboot; run scsiboot; run usbboot; run net;'
setenv bootfile efi/boot/bootaa64.efi
setenv dmi_board_mfg Silicom
setenv dmi_board_name 80500-0205-G00
setenv dmi_board_serial 1925200071
setenv dmi_board_ver R301
setenv dmi_chassis_mfg Silicom
setenv dmi_chassis_serial 1925200071
setenv dmi_chassis_ver R301
setenv dmi_sys_mfg Silicom
setenv dmi_sys_name SG-2100
setenv dmi_sys_serial 1925200071
setenv dmi_sys_ver R301
setenv dtb_name armada-3720-sg2100.dtb
setenv efi_8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c_OsIndicationsSupported {ro,boot}(blob)0000000000000000
setenv efi_cfee69ad-a0de-47a9-93a8-f63106f8ae99_Boot1Path {boot,run}(blob)2f005c006500660069005c0062006f006f0074005c0062006f006f00740061006100360034002e006500660069000000
setenv eth1addr 00:E0:ED:BC:2E:7A
setenv ethaddr 00:E0:ED:BC:2E:79
setenv fileaddr 1000000
setenv filesize 60000
setenv mmcboot 'mmc rescan; setenv load_dev mmc; if fatls ${load_dev} 0:2 /; then run pfsenseboot; fi;'
setenv net 'dhcp; tftp ${fdt_addr_r} ${dtb_name}; tftp ${kernel_addr_r} loader.efi; fdt addr ${fdt_addr_r}; fdt set / sn ${dmi_sys_serial}; bootefi ${kernel_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r};'
setenv netgateid 72da527ea24be8b9a7e6
setenv pfsenseboot 'load ${load_dev} 0:2 ${fdt_addr_r} ${dtb_name}; load ${load_dev} 0:1 ${kernel_addr_r} ${boot_file}; fdt addr ${fdt_addr_r}; fdt set / sn ${dmi_sys_serial}; bootefi ${kernel_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r};'
setenv scsiboot 'scsi reset; setenv load_dev scsi; if fatls ${load_dev} 0:2 /; then run pfsenseboot; fi;'
setenv setLED 'i2c dev 1; i2c reset; i2c mw 67 ff 0; i2c mw 67 0 1; i2c mw 67 f 20; i2c mw 67 3 40; i2c mw 67 26 0; i2c mw 67 10 0;'
setenv usbboot 'usb reset; setenv load_dev usb; if fatls ${load_dev} 0:2 /; then run pfsenseboot; fi;'
saveenv

                      You should run printenv there first to make sure those values are all missing or different. They will be if you saw the Bad CRC error in uboot which causes it to load the defaults.
                      You will need substitute your own serial number, Netgate device ID and MAC address.
                      The MAC shown on the label is the ethaddr value.

                      Steve

                        Thanks Steve!
                        If it works then apparently the 1st time I sent the unit for repair was for nothing.
                        I keep you posted if I make it work.

                          Hi Steve,
                          I've managed to fix the uboot CRC and now the system can boot correctly.
                          Thank you!
                          As you said the ralink 3090 is identified but does not work properly.
                          Do you have a list of verified wifi cards that work ok with 2.5.0 beta?

                          Doron.

                            Ah, good news and bad then. 😉

                            What sort of errors are you seeing? How is it not working?

                            The only card I know to work in the SG-2100 currently (I have tested personally) is the Compex WLE200NX.

                                Ah, OK that's pretty much what I was seeing on the RT2700E too so probably affecting all ral devices in arm64. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11021#note-4

                                I'll open a new bug to track that but it probably won't see any active fix unless something comes from upstream. That hardware is very old and slow at this point.

                                The WLE200NX is much faster and at least supports 802.11n correctly.
