- message: <<EOM
-This port includes an RC script, which is one of two methods to update the
-CPU microcode on a FreeBSD system.
-
-1. The first method, which does not require the RC script included in this
- port is currently only supported on FreeBSD 12.0 or later and Intel i386
- and amd64 processors. It is the preferred method when available because
- it ensures that any CPU features introduced by a microcode update are
- visible to the kernel by applying the update before the kernel performs
- CPU feature detection.
-
- To enable updates using the first method, add the following lines to
- /boot/loader.conf:
-
- cpu_microcode_load="YES"
- cpu_microcode_name="/boot/firmware/intel-ucode.bin"
-
- The microcode update will be loaded when the system is rebooted.
-
-
-2. The second method, which uses the RC script included in this port can
- be enabled by adding the following line to /etc/rc.conf:
-
- microcode_update_enable="YES"
-
- The microcode update is then applied upon reboot or when the microcode
- update service is run via:
-
- # service microcode_update start
-
- If the CPU requires a microcode update, a console message such as the
- following will appear:
-
- Updating CPU Microcode...
- %%DATADIR%%/m32306c3_00000022.fw: updating cpu /dev/cpuctl0 from rev 0x17 to rev 0x22... done.
- %%DATADIR%%/m32306c3_00000022.fw: updating cpu /dev/cpuctl2 from rev 0x17 to rev 0x22... done.
- %%DATADIR%%/m32306c3_00000022.fw: updating cpu /dev/cpuctl4 from rev 0x17 to rev 0x22... done.
- %%DATADIR%%/m32306c3_00000022.fw: updating cpu /dev/cpuctl6 from rev 0x17 to rev 0x22... done.
- Done.
-
-It is safe to enable both methods.
