Title: UART flags now unsupported?
Post by: eponymous on December 25, 2022, 09:07:31 pm

Hi

I’ve got the following set in tunables:

comconsole_port=0x2F8
hint.uart.0.flags=0x00
hint.uart.1.flags=0x10

However I’ve just noticed now that the last two “flags” are showing as “unsupported” in red text. Only the  comconsole_port is being set.

I’ve been looking through forums and release notes but can’t see anything obvious about why this might have changed.

When did this happen? They used to be needed for the UART to work properly on my Netgate device.

I’m on 22.7_4

As far as I know all tunables that are not part of the standard set and thus not "known" by OPNsense are flagged as unsupported to indicate that fact. They still work.

The wording might offer an opportunity for improvement.  ;)

@franco how about changing it to e.g. "custom"?

Thanks that makes more sense now!

Yes either “custom” or “non-standard” would be better terms to display in the GUI as that really did mislead me 8)
