Watchguard XTM 5 Series

@stephenw10 Thanks for this file, I will try it in my pfsense install per your earlier posts in this thread.
I am comparing it ti t-rexy's aml files, looks like I just need to get the right values in the _pr section.. The question is, how do I find or generate the correct values for this section?
Scope (_PR) { Processor (CPU1, 0x01, 0x00000810, 0x06) { Name (_PPC, Zero) // _PPC: Performance Present Capabilities Name (_PCT, Package (0x02) // _PCT: Performance Control { ResourceTemplate () { Register (FFixedHW, 0x10, // Bit Width 0x00, // Bit Offset 0x0000000000000199, // Address ,) }, ResourceTemplate () { Register (FFixedHW, 0x10, // Bit Width 0x00, // Bit Offset 0x0000000000000198, // Address ,) } }) Name (_CST, Package (0x02) // _CST: C-States { One, Package (0x04) { ResourceTemplate () { Register (FFixedHW, 0x01, // Bit Width 0x02, // Bit Offset 0x0000000000000000, // Address 0x01, // Access Size ) }, One, 0x02, 0x61A8 } }) Name (_PSS, Package (0x04) // _PSS: Performance Supported States { Package (0x06) { 0x0BB8, 0xFDE8, 0x0A, 0x0A, 0x0924, 0x0924 }, Package (0x06) { 0x0A6A, 0xD228, 0x0A, 0x0A, 0x081E, 0x081E }, Package (0x06) { 0x091D, 0xB98C, 0x0A, 0x0A, 0x071A, 0x071A }, Package (0x06) { 0x07D0, 0xA410, 0x0A, 0x0A, 0x0616, 0x0616 } }) }EDIT:
File works! Now showing frequency strangely enough, of course max is now showing 3Ghz as the 8400 max frequency is. Really excited to get this aml file sorted!

Package (0x06) { 0x07D0, 0xA410, 0x0A, 0x0A, 0x0616, 0x0616 }It's been a while but IIRC you need one entry for each state.
0x07D0 is 2000MHz the lowest speed
0xA410 is the CPU voltage but I forget how that's calculated
0x0616 is the CPU wattage passed to the OS, what pfSense shows in the sysctls. -
Could the voltage calculation have something to do with this? values are off... seem to need to divide by 4 to get in the right ballpark. i will keep looking though
Meaning of the fid and vid
The frequency ID (fid) is the multiplier for the reference clock (e.g. the FSB clock). The voltage ID (vid) is processor specific.Unfortunately Intel publishes no information about the meaning of this value but the conversion formula for Core CPU's seems to be
UCpu = 700 mV + vid x 12.5 mV
and for Core 2 CPU's it seems to be
UCpu = 800 mV + vid x 12.5 mV

Hi all
Is amibcp useful to change what is displayed on LCD ??
What field ?After flashrom xtm5_83.rom it displays pfsense v1.8
-
You have to extract the module and then hex-edit it to change that. Or at least that's what I did long, long ago!
There are some more details on the forum here if you search through it.

Maybe you are referring to once pfsense is booted, you want to see other details on the LCD?
If so, you need to install the LCDproc package from the pfsense package manager. You will then see all the options that can be output on the LCD.
I've not been able to get this working with 2.7 though. So if anyone has any ideas for that???
-
Works fine in 2.7 for me. What problem are you seeing?
The only issue is the button mapping is incorrect. I think that's because it conflicted with the older devices at the time but none of those run pfSense any longer so maybe time to update it.
-
@stephenw10 LCDproc service wont even start on mine.
Maybe its something left over from the upgrade as the install of Unifi Network Manager is also screwed since upgrading. ( https://github.com/unofficial-unifi/unifi-pfsense )
Is there any log in particular that I can explore to find out exactly why the service wont start?
-
Try to start the service then check the system log. Though anything could be happening if you loaded that unifi package. That could very well be completely broken in 2.7 and may have pulled in some bad pkgs that also broke lcdproc.
-
@stephenw10 Yeah, I thought that too but stripped it out and still have the same issue. I might try fresh install this weekend and see if there is any better results.
-
If you try starting lcdproc at the CLI it might throw more useful errors. If there have been some bad packages pulled in there will likely be missing lib errors.
-
@stephenw10 OK, couldnt wait and had a look. So it seems there was a new version of LCDproc released in the past couple of days. I was using 0.11.4_1 but this version is now installed: 0.11.4_2
Yup, some changes were made but not seemingly something that should have affected me:
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commits/devel/sysutils/pfSense-pkg-LCDprocIt wouldnt start manually either when i ran "service lcdproc onestart" so I tried running "service LCDd onestart" and it started and displayed the server stats. So I restarted LCDproc and now its running without issues :-)
So I was either doing something stupid before or this new versions resolved something. Im thinking the former :-)
-
I never installed pfsense on this machine, I installed a voip pbx based on centos7, installed flashrom and flashed xtm5_83.rom
From there, display says "pfsense v1.8" or so.... -
Yeah, it's hardcoded in the BIOS module. To remind you to install pfSense.
-
So can't I modify the .rom file directly ?
-
That's not what I did. I opened the rom file, extracted the module, hex-edited it then reinserted the module. It was years ago though and pretty much the first time I'd tried anything like that so there may well be a better way now.
-
Well, I don't understand the part "extract" the module from .rom file, which software to do it ?

@waterwall said in Watchguard XTM 5 Series:
The MMTool program is used to extract/insert/replace individual modules within the BIOS
A little step ahead....
MMtool shows me various modules, which one is related to LCD string ?? -

Nice. That took me literally weeks the first time I tried it!
