Coreboot upgrade failed XG-2758 on PFSense 23.09.1
-
Hi,
Does anyone know if it should be possible to update the Coreboot of an XG-2758, currently we have 2 units that run on coreboot 01.00.00.09 and according to the Netgate Firmware Upgrade there is an update available to 01.00.00.18. But when I try the update I get only the following error lines.
Failed to read flash data, exiting ... Updating flashing ...A cold boot does not help, we are running PFSense version 23.09.1 and Netgate Firmware Upgrade version 23.05.00.
Regards,

The XG-2758 has been EoL for some time, though it still runs the current version.
The Coreboot required a special workaround that is not in current versions which is why it's failing like that. To update Coreboot you will need to reinstall an older version of pfSense that included a compatible updater. Open a ticket with TAC to discuss:

@stephenw10 Can I open a case for this without a support contract, or do I need a support contract for this?

Nope you can always open a ticket for firmware requests like that.
