CPU kernel module was installed.
|
|
|
|
To load it, issue
|
|
|
|
% kldload cpu
|
|
|
|
Then you can access MSR registers or cpuid info via /dev/cpu%d or using
|
|
3d-party programs, e.g. x86info.
|
|
|
|
For information regarding microcode update features refer to
|
|
cpu_mictocode_tool(4) manpage.
|
|
|
|
You might be interested in enabling automatic microcode update on startup.
|
|
This can be achieved by adding the line devcpu_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf.
|
|
Refer to rcNG devcpu script for additional info.
|
|
|
|
You can also use extract_mcodes.rb utility to extract cpucode updates
|
|
from vendor-supplied BIOS updates. The utility currently supports only
|
|
Award/Phoenix-compatible BIOS images.

Please, report any problems to maintainer. Thanks!
