APU - Firmware Upgrade

APU, Firmware, OpenBSD

intro

as we all know, the apu’s from pcengines are eol. but it’s worth to bring the existing ones to the latest firmware. if you have openbsd running on your boxes, you can upgrade it with like this:

add packages

doas pkg_add -i flashrom pciutils

set hostname

based on apu version and mac of em0

type=$(dmesg |grep ^bios0: |tail -1 |sed 's/.*gines //')
mac=$(ifconfig em0 |awk '/lladdr/ {print $2}' |awk -F':' '{printf "%s-%s-%s\n",$4, $5, $6}')
echo "${type}-${mac}" |tee /etc/myname; hostname $(cat /etc/myname)
