Possible to support uefi booting?

stanto
stanto 2 months ago

I understand this is an old board, I've been given one and since its an older amd apu I figured it might be worth tinkering and learning on as some of the principles are still valid for embedded boards these days.

I can get it into debian linux legacy booting just fine, but I thought I'd try to get uefi booting working.

The gizmo 2 board Im using has the original seabios on it, version 20140410_011727-frink, I think I can rebuild coreboot for it? Though I have never tried and not sure where to start.

I cant see any prompts to get into a typical bios, hammering f1, f2, f10, esc, doesnt work. It briefly flashes f12 for boot options but that isnt helpful.

The official website for this is dead, and didnt have much on it anyway, the wayback machine / web archive has a lot though, so I can go scavenging, Id appreciate any guides or pointers, or a "thats never going to work". Thanks.

    你好,我手里恰好有一块同样的开发板,但是我尝试使用windows 11安装介质时无法进入安装界面,会卡在boot前,但是我购买时带着一张msata硬盘上面有一个64位的Linux,底层为Debian12,系统是一个开源打印机系统,且可以正常进入命令行和工作,目前我还在尝试使用其他的开源Linux,如果你有成功的案例,可以告诉我吗,非常感谢。

    Hello, I happen to have the same development board. However, when I tried to use the Windows 11 installation media, I was unable to reach the installation screen because it gets stuck before booting.

    When I purchased the board, it came with an mSATA drive containing a 64-bit Linux system based on Debian 12. It is an open-source printer system, and it can currently boot successfully, access the command line, and operate normally.

    I am still trying other open-source Linux distributions. If you have any examples of successfully getting an operating system running on this board, could you please let me know?

    Thank you very much.

    Mainly Windows 7 I think, and some version of debian/ubuntu.

    Maybe since there's little to no support for this board, throwing it at claude code or similar might yield some results for better BIOS support?

    According to this guide it is F12, at least with a valid USB memory stick inserted (the steps to do that are listed):

     Gizmo 2 – The New Batch 

    However that board is so ancient (and extremely limited memory) it is probably not worth the effort any more. I used mine for hot air desoldering/soldering practice.

    Thanks, the one key I wasn't hammering.
