- Controllers stop at K80, before forgectrl at K90: runlevel 0/6 no
longer tears down the cooling engine, fire gates, and broker while a
controller may still be executing a job.
- The grblhal/gfcloud init scripts are real emergency levers: stop
routes through the supervisor (POST /controller/stop - a bare pkill
was safed and respawned seconds later), start resumes supervision,
status exists, and the pkill fallback matches full executable paths
instead of truncated names or bare substrings.
- slotmigrate: the partition grow gets the same 2048-sector tolerance
as the filesystem branch (an exact compare rewrote the MBR at S02 on
every boot on disks where the grow cannot land on the last sector),
verifies it made progress, and the resize2fs retry is bounded at
three attempts with the counter kept on p3 itself.
- Installer: archive product/platform are verified after the signature,
and a validly signed OLDER release now requires an explicit yes
instead of installing as a silent downgrade. All predictable /tmp
paths in the installer and ffboot are mktemp now.
- release.sh rejects multiple positional versions (the last one used to
win silently) and a release without factory-era verification dies
unless explicitly bypassed; mkfw.sh refuses to pack when the public
key for the post-sign self-check is missing.
- forgefirm-logrotate: size-capped rotation (boot + hourly) for the
/data logs - a full /data breaks settings, update staging, and the
controllers own writes.
- Bench build scripts derive every path from their own location or
FF_SRC_TOP/FF_BUILD_TOP and log to mktemp files.
The image's busybox has no blockdev applet, so the grow path silently
skipped. Sector counts now come from /sys/class/block (no external
tool); log lines also go to /dev/kmsg so migration results are visible
in dmesg after boot.
install-forgefirm.sh is now single-stage and never repartitions: run
from factory firmware, it archives every factory slot version plus the
recovery boot partitions to /data/forgefirm/archive (manifest with
md5s), verifies the signed forgefirm.fw against the embedded ForgeFIRM
pubkey (raw 32-byte form for the factory's fwup 0.14.2; dev key until
the production key ceremony), applies it to the INACTIVE slot with the
factory's own fwup, post-verifies the written rootfs, installs
/data/ffboot, and flips the saved env with read-back verification. The
booted factory slot stays installed and bootable; /data is untouched
beyond the archive. Fixed release asset name forgefirm.fw (version in
the fwup metadata and release tag).
slotmigrate (new recipe, rcS before mountall) reclaims the legacy
layout on eMMC-slot boots: deletes p4, grows p3 to the end of the
disk (sfdisk + partx BLKPG - works with a sibling partition as root),
then e2fsck+resize2fs. Every step is keyed off the actual disk state,
so interrupted runs resume and factory-layout disks are a no-op; SD
boots never touch the eMMC.
