@all

v4.12.0.1 was released.

https://pcengines.github.io/firmware/2020/05/31/PC-Engines-Firmware-v4-12-0-1.html

https://pcengines.github.io/#mr-35

Please read the announcements!

For example: The serial number on APU1 boards with the os-dmidecode plugin on OPNsense still prints -64.

The hint for this would be: "The number of changes slightly increased, because we did not yet upstream all fixes for apu1" ;)

Serial number is displayed with "-64" on the apu1 is unfortunately back with version v4.12.0.3. Have other problems returned?

This apu1 is running OPNsense 20.7 ;)

Dear All,

lucky me I just received an assambled and glued ;-( APU board as a gift !

Trying to upgrade the firmware first with tiny but I am struggling to identify my board....Based on the ports and ram it is an apu2e4 or apu3c4....Dimencode shows just:

Manufacturer    PC Engines
Product Name    apu2
Version    1.0
Serial Number    1071036

So the correct bios is then:
apu2_v4.12.0.4.rom
or.
apu3_v4.12.0.4.rom

Btw. apu5_v4.12.0.4.rom - Cannont find an apu5 board on https://www.pcengines.ch

Thanks and greets!

Is anybody using APU with firmware v4.12.0.4, and Opnsense 20.7.x, having any mysterious AMDTEMP issue, or ACPI issue, IGB issue, or anything usual problem?

Thanks for the info. I will wait for some more positive feedbacks. As some of the APU bios bugs are easily passing through the release cycle, and only some weeks later will somebody using opnsense spot that something has broken in the new BIOS which is not obvious for the average opnsense+APU owners.

New version is available!
v4.13.0.1
Release date: 2020-11-27

Fixed/added:
rebased with official coreboot repository commit 9b7dc76
Known issues:
apuled driver doesn't work in FreeBSD. Check the GPIOs document for workaround.
some PCIe cards are not detected on certain OSes and/or in certain mPCIe slots. Check the mPCIe modules document for solution/workaround.
booting with 2 USB 3.x sticks plugged in apu4 sometimes results in detecting only 1 stick
certain USB 3.x sticks happen to not appear in boot menu
booting Xen is unstable



I'm trying to install it via OPNsense shell on a running device, but it says it can't find the flashrom command, do I need to install anything before I can use this? I've read that it should be included...

// edit
fixed it by running "pkg install flashrom"
Did not read that anywhere on the posts I found
