Modify the first-boot script and documentation to set the EEPROM boot order to 0xf21, prioritizing eMMC boot followed by network boot. Adjust network boot settings for faster failure on DHCP timeouts and update related scripts and documentation to reflect these changes. Enhance the rescue script to directly modify EEPROM settings without requiring a chroot into eMMC, streamlining the recovery process for devices stuck in network-only boot. Update relevant documentation to ensure clarity on the new boot order and its implications.
Update NETWORK-BOOT-TROUBLESHOOTING.md to clarify the boot process and emphasize the need to disable PXE before rebooting to ensure EEPROM updates are applied. Enhance initramfs scripts to improve DHCP lease acquisition and capture the device's IP address more reliably. Add a revision tracking feature to the initramfs build process for better version control. Modify provisioning-client.sh to ensure proper reboot handling after deployment and backup actions.
Update NETWORK-BOOT-TROUBLESHOOTING.md to clarify the boot process after start4.elf, emphasizing the importance of config.txt settings for kernel and initramfs. Introduce checks for GPU logging and ensure proper configuration for UART. Modify initramfs scripts to improve DHCP lease acquisition and ensure shell output is directed to the serial console. Update ensure-tftpboot-config-kernel-initrd.sh to enforce necessary config settings and link DTB files in serial-prefix directories for better device compatibility.
Enhance the NETWORK-BOOT-LXC.md documentation with detailed steps for testing network boot functionality, including prerequisites, expected outcomes, and quick testing methods. Introduce a new section on monitoring network boot status on the LXC, outlining commands to check DHCP leases, dnsmasq status, and registered devices. Update the initramfs scripts to support a rescue mode for devices stuck in network-only boot, allowing users to change boot order settings. Include a new rescue script for eMMC management in the build process.
Enhance the dashboard API with new endpoints for managing DHCP network boot options, allowing devices to enable or disable network boot via POST requests. Update the device action handling to include a 'reboot' action, specifically for network devices. Modify the home.html template to display the current state of network boot and provide a button for disabling it. Update provisioning scripts to disable network boot after deployment or backup completion, ensuring devices boot from eMMC on the next startup. Improve user feedback and error handling throughout the changes.
