Today I've updated the devcpu port. One of the major things that was changed is the utility to deal with Award bios update images was added. This program allows to extract microcode updates from vendor bios updates (this especially important for AMD cpus as this company doesn't distribute cpucodes updates for end-users). Furthermore, you can take bios updates for the newer hardware and extract microcode updates from them in case if your system unsuppored by vendor anymore. A have a lot of such hardware.

Another thing, that was added is the rcNG startup script. It allows to enable automatic cpucode updates on startup. Just add ths string devcpu_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf file and cpus will be updated on each boot.

I wish to think pav@ and netchild@ for their suggestions and reports.
