Hi!

I have installed
sysutils/cpu-microcode-amdand sysutils/cpu-microcode-rc
and I am using it very long time.
As I read somewhere I had settings in /etc/rc/conf and I have in /boot/loader.conf.
And my question is what should be in
/boot/loader/.conf which I have:
Code: 
cpu_microcode_load="YES"
cpu_microcode_name="/usr/local/share/cpucontrol/microcode_amd_fam17h.bin
or is enough or better to use
Code: 
cpu_microcode_load="YES"
cpu_microcode_name="/usr/local/share/cpucontrol/microcode_amd.bin

Thank you.
 
From sysutils/cpu-microcode-rc pkg-message:
1. Early loading.
This is the preferred method, because it ensures that any CPU features
added or removed by a microcode update are visible to the kernel by
applying the update before the kernel performs CPU feature detection.

add the following lines to /boot/loader.conf:

cpu_microcode_load="YES"

and the appropriate one of these lines:

cpu_microcode_name="/boot/firmware/intel-ucode.bin"
cpu_microcode_name="/boot/firmware/amd-ucode.bin"

The microcode update will be loaded when the system is rebooted.

AMD systems running FreeBSD prior to 2024-02-22 snapshot
34467bd76 only support late loading.

I did change but it is shows the same as was before.
Thank you.
Update Microcode...
 
Never installed, but here, on your advice, I installed on my AMD Athlon5350. And how and what should I look for?
 
thomas-krenn: The resource is not available in my country. For some reason Krenn decided to close. Very strange. Had to use Tor... and I thought you attached a broken link. Thanks again!
