UEFI Upgrade from 35.6.1 to 35.6.4

[h123]

Hi,

We are upgrading our BSP from 35.6.1 to 35.6.4, and building UEFI from source. We noticed that on the r35.6.4-updates branch there is a commit missing that is on the r35.6.1-updates branch. The commit title is “fix: split ftw writes if they span blocks”. Is this fix not needed anymore? We don’t want to risk bricking units in the field.

We also noticed that the commits for assertion 3 of the topic Assertion issue in UEFI during boot are not in there. Do you recommend adding these patches?

Hi h123,

Are you using the devkit or custom board for Orin Nano?

We would suggest verifying the whole steps locally before doing capsule update for the devices in the field directly.

Based on my understanding, the assertions issues we mentioned in that post have been fixed in r35.6.4.
You can simply update to r35.6.4 with all fixes included.

Hi KevinFFF,

We are using a custom carrier board.

We have checked carefully now and believe that some of the fixes are indeed missing in github.com/NVIDIA/edk2-nvidia/tree/r35.6.4-updates . So anyone building from that branch (which is mentioned as a supported combo here: Combos · NVIDIA/edk2-nvidia Wiki · GitHub ) without manually adding the assertion patches is at risk of having units fail in the field.
