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.
Implement a new function to write status updates during device deployment and backup actions, enhancing user feedback. Update the API to call this function with appropriate messages based on the action taken. Modify the network boot toggle script to improve clarity and functionality, ensuring proper management of DHCP options. Update permissions for the toggle script to ensure it is executable. Additionally, update the initrd.img to reflect recent changes in the network boot process.
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.
Introduce a new section in NETWORK-BOOT-TROUBLESHOOTING.md addressing issues where boot stops after start4.elf, detailing necessary config.txt settings for kernel and initramfs. Include instructions for ensuring the presence of required files in the TFTP root and a command to verify configurations on the LXC. Update initrd.img to reflect changes in the network boot 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.
