cpu-microcode-intel: no matching update found on Intel Core i3-1215U

[fastboot]

Hi @Franco,

I may have found a microcode packaging/split-file issue on OPNsense.

System:

Protectli VP6630
Intel Core i3-1215U, Alder Lake R0
coreboot 0.9.0

Installed packages:

Code Select Expand

cpu-microcode-intel-20260227
os-cpu-microcode-intel-1.1
Current microcode after boot:

Code Select Expand

x86info -a | grep -i micro
Microcode version: 0x0000000000000432
Boot message:

Code Select Expand

dmesg | grep -i micro
[1] CPU microcode: no matching update found
The package only provides this split file for CPUID 06-9a-04:

Code Select Expand

/usr/local/share/cpucontrol/06-9a-04.40
but for Intel Core Gen12 / Alder Lake R0 I would expect platform 06-9a-04/80, not /40.

Full relevant output:

Code Select Expand

pkg info -x microcode
cpu-microcode-intel-20260227
os-cpu-microcode-intel-1.1

pkg info -l cpu-microcode-intel | grep -E 'intel-ucode|06-9a-04|microcode'
cpu-microcode-intel-20260227:
        /boot/firmware/intel-ucode.bin
        /usr/local/share/cpucontrol/06-9a-04.40

find /usr/local/share/cpucontrol /boot/firmware -iname '*06-9a-04*' -o -iname '*intel*ucode*'
/usr/local/share/cpucontrol/06-9a-04.40
/boot/firmware/intel-ucode.bin



Is it possible that the split microcode file 06-9a-04.80 is missing from the package, so the Intel microcode plugin cannot update this CPU and keeps the firmware-provided 0x432?

Thanks!
